The MSP for ragi for kharif marketing season 2025-26 is Rs 5,186 per quintal, one of the higher increases this year at about Rs 596 over the previous season. Ragi carries the highest MSP among the major millets, reflecting its nutrition value and cost of cultivation. Karnataka in particular runs active ragi procurement under the millet promotion drive, so check your registration and the procurement window with the state food and civil supplies department or your local centre. Keep the grain well dried and clean to meet fair average quality norms at the procurement centre. Confirm the current procurement schedule officially before harvest.
Karnataka procures ragi at MSP and I have sold mine at the centre after registering online. The rate is good now compared to a few years ago. Just keep the moisture low and grain clean.
Register early because there are limits per farmer at the centres. Last year some who delayed missed the window. Ragi MSP is attractive so demand at centres is high.
Keep your land records and bank passbook ready when you register, the centre asks for them to fix your quota. I also took moisture down properly by sun drying for a couple of extra days so it cleared the quality check in one go.
