&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Price incentives for farmers should be followed up by better marketing infrastructure&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre, while announcing the minimum support prices for the oncoming rabi season, has stuck to its policy of announcing moderate increases in the case of cereals, while promoting a shift towards pulses and oilseeds. MSP increases have moderated after 2013, after double-digit spurts that were the norm in the preceding four years. Hence, the rise in the case of wheat amounts to 6.4 per cent or ?110 a quintal to ?1,735, against a rise of ?100 a quintal last year, while the increase with respect to gram (chana) is 10 per cent, or by ?400 a quintal to ?4,400; in the case of safflower, the hike is 10.8 per cent or ?400 a quintal on last year&amp;rsquo;s MSP of ?3,700 a quintal. This consistent emphasis on pulses has translated into improvements in acreage and output. MSP for most categories of pulses has been generously raised at 8-10 per cent levels in the last two years. This led to 158 lakh hectares being brought under rabi pulses in 2016-17, against 142 lakh hectares in the previous year. Of this, gram (chana), the principal rabi pulses crop, accounted for an acreage of 98 lakh hectares in 2016-17, against 89 lakh hectares in the previous year, an increase of about 10 per cent. The sharp increase in both acreage and output in the kharif and rabi seasons of 2016-17 led to a record foodgrain output of 275 million tonnes, which included a record pulses output of nearly 23 million tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While MSP can work as a means to effect both output increase and a change in cropping patterns, it cannot work wonders in isolation. The total acreage in 2016-17 was almost the same as in 2013-14, a normal monsoon year. The two intervening years were ones of poor monsoon. The total acreage in kharif 2017 was almost flat in relation to 2016, while the area under kharif pulses was down by about 3 per cent. A push towards pulses self-sufficiency will require attaining a production level of well over 25 million tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;

MSP increases have moderated after 2013, after double-digit spurts that were the norm in the preceding four years. Hence, the rise in the case of wheat amounts to 6.4 per cent or ?110 a quintal to ?1,735, against a rise of ?100 a quintal last year, while the increase with respect to gram (chana) is 10 per cent, or by ?400 a quintal to ?4,400; in the case of safflower, the hike is 10.8 per cent or ?400 a quintal on last year&rsquo;s MSP of ?3,700 a quintal. This consistent emphasis on pulses has translated into improvements in acreage and output. MSP for most categories of pulses has been generously raised at 8-10 per cent levels in the last two years. This led to 158 lakh hectares being brought under rabi pulses in 2016-17, against 142 lakh hectares in the previous year. Of this, gram (chana), the principal rabi pulses crop, accounted for an acreage of 98 lakh hectares in 2016-17, against 89 lakh hectares in the previous year, an increase of about 10 per cent.

The total acreage in kharif 2017 was almost flat in relation to 2016, while the area under kharif pulses was down by about 3 per cent.

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Hindu Business Line&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Price incentives for farmers should be followed up by better marketing infrastructure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Centre, while announcing the minimum support prices for the oncoming rabi season, has stuck to its policy of announcing moderate increases in the case of cereals, while promoting a shift towards pulses and oilseeds. MSP increases have moderated after 2013, after double-digit spurts that were the norm in the preceding four years. Hence, the rise in the case of wheat amounts to 6.4 per cent or ?110 a quintal to ?1,735, against a rise of ?100 a quintal last year, while the increase with respect to gram (chana) is 10 per cent, or by ?400 a quintal to ?4,400; in the case of safflower, the hike is 10.8 per cent or ?400 a quintal on last year&amp;rsquo;s MSP of ?3,700 a quintal. This consistent emphasis on pulses has translated into improvements in acreage and output. MSP for most categories of pulses has been generously raised at 8-10 per cent levels in the last two years. This led to 158 lakh hectares being brought under rabi pulses in 2016-17, against 142 lakh hectares in the previous year. Of this, gram (chana), the principal rabi pulses crop, accounted for an acreage of 98 lakh hectares in 2016-17, against 89 lakh hectares in the previous year, an increase of about 10 per cent. The sharp increase in both acreage and output in the kharif and rabi seasons of 2016-17 led to a record foodgrain output of 275 million tonnes, which included a record pulses output of nearly 23 million tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While MSP can work as a means to effect both output increase and a change in cropping patterns, it cannot work wonders in isolation. The total acreage in 2016-17 was almost the same as in 2013-14, a normal monsoon year. The two intervening years were ones of poor monsoon. The total acreage in kharif 2017 was almost flat in relation to 2016, while the area under kharif pulses was down by about 3 per cent. A push towards pulses self-sufficiency will require attaining a production level of well over 25 million tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/editorial/minimum-support-price-india-incentives-farmers-marketing/article9926424.ece?homepage=true&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/editorial/minimum-support-price-india-incentives-farmers-marketing/article9926424.ece?homepage=true&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;Price incentives for farmers should be followed up by better marketing infrastructure&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre, while announcing the minimum support prices for the oncoming rabi season, has stuck to its policy of announcing moderate increases in the case of cereals, while promoting a shift towards pulses and oilseeds. MSP increases have moderated after 2013, after double-digit spurts that were the norm in the preceding four years. Hence, the rise in the case of wheat amounts to 6.4 per cent or ?110 a quintal to ?1,735, against a rise of ?100 a quintal last year, while the increase with respect to gram (chana) is 10 per cent, or by ?400 a quintal to ?4,400; in the case of safflower, the hike is 10.8 per cent or ?400 a quintal on last year&amp;rsquo;s MSP of ?3,700 a quintal. This consistent emphasis on pulses has translated into improvements in acreage and output. MSP for most categories of pulses has been generously raised at 8-10 per cent levels in the last two years. This led to 158 lakh hectares being brought under rabi pulses in 2016-17, against 142 lakh hectares in the previous year. Of this, gram (chana), the principal rabi pulses crop, accounted for an acreage of 98 lakh hectares in 2016-17, against 89 lakh hectares in the previous year, an increase of about 10 per cent. The sharp increase in both acreage and output in the kharif and rabi seasons of 2016-17 led to a record foodgrain output of 275 million tonnes, which included a record pulses output of nearly 23 million tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While MSP can work as a means to effect both output increase and a change in cropping patterns, it cannot work wonders in isolation. The total acreage in 2016-17 was almost the same as in 2013-14, a normal monsoon year. The two intervening years were ones of poor monsoon. The total acreage in kharif 2017 was almost flat in relation to 2016, while the area under kharif pulses was down by about 3 per cent. A push towards pulses self-sufficiency will require attaining a production level of well over 25 million tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;

The Centre, while announcing the minimum support prices for the oncoming rabi season, has stuck to its policy of announcing moderate increases in the case of cereals, while promoting a shift towards pulses and oilseeds. MSP increases have moderated after 2013, after double-digit spurts that were the norm in the preceding four years. Hence, the rise in the case of wheat amounts to 6.4 per cent or ?110 a quintal to ?1,735, against a rise of ?100 a quintal last year, while the increase with respect to gram (chana) is 10 per cent, or by ?400 a quintal to ?4,400; in the case of safflower, the hike is 10.8 per cent or ?400 a quintal on last year&rsquo;s MSP of ?3,700 a quintal. This consistent emphasis on pulses has translated into improvements in acreage and output. MSP for most categories of pulses has been generously raised at 8-10 per cent levels in the last two years. This led to 158 lakh hectares being brought under rabi pulses in 2016-17, against 142 lakh hectares in the previous year. Of this, gram (chana), the principal rabi pulses crop, accounted for an acreage of 98 lakh hectares in 2016-17, against 89 lakh hectares in the previous year, an increase of about 10 per cent.
