New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the MSP for crops will be at least 1.5 times the production cost so as to boost farmers’ incomes and the Centre is working with states to ensure that they get the benefit of the support prices. He also said many people are spreading rumours regarding the minimum support price (MSP) and creating a gloomy atmosphere. He said all input costs would be included while fixing MSPs of various crops and this decision would help double farm income by 2022.

Addressing the Krishi Unnati Mela 2018 at Pusa agri complex here, he asked farmers to grow more oilseeds to reduce the country’s dependence on imports of cooking oil. Besides, he appealed to them to reduce the consumption of urea by at least half by 2022. Modi also urged farmers not to burn crop residue as it leads to air pollution and affects soil fertility.

The government, he further said, is continuously working to tackle the challenges faced by the agriculture sector in an holistic manner. It is also reforming agri-marketing to enhance farmers’ income, he added. “Government is working day and night to ensure that farmers get the latest seeds, required electricity, do not face any problem in market access and get right prices for their produce,” Modi said.
