UP Farmer Registry 2026: Benefits, Registration Process and Payments for Uttar Pradesh Farmers

UP Farmer Registry 2026: You are in a simple village in Uttar Pradesh, and you have to take care of your wheat fields or sugarcane fields. Each season, you toil in the sun hoping that you will have a good crop, but when the government steps in, such as subsidies, loans, or insurance, this can be a big burden of having to travel long distances to government offices, paper work, and waiting weeks.

Imagine now that you can access such benefits through your phone or a local cyber cafe by applying to them with a unique ID which unlocks all you ever needed such as payment of PM-KISAN, crop insurance and so on. It is what the UP Farmer Registry or AgriStack UP was introduced to facilitate the lives of the 2.3 crore farmers of UP.

What is the UP Farmer Registry 2026?

Consider it as an online ID card to farmers, also known as Farmer ID which connects your personal facts, land documentation, and bank account with only one and distinct number.

Such an ID ensures that one does not have to walk across offices to avail government schemes such as PM-KISAN, Kisan Credit Card (KCC), crop insurance, and fertilizer subsidies. The registry which was launched in 2022 is currently a pillar of the agriculture strategy of UP and by 2026, more than 1.5 crore farmers were registered which covers 75 districts.
