New Delhi: Farmer unions have welcomed hike in Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Kharif crops announced by the Centre on Wednesday, but said that the increase was well short of their expectations. All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) the umbrella body representing 194 farmer unions from across the country, has called the hike as old wine in a new bottle.

An AIKSCC statement said that the Cabinet decision to fix MSP for Kharif 2018 with such fanfare by giving 50 per cent more the production cost is like old wine in a new bottle. The decision to fix MSP is not as per C2, but as per A2+FL formula, which takes into account the actual cost plus imputed value of family labour. This is not what the farmers and the farming organizations all over the country have been demanding. The demand is for C2 and not for extending A2+FL for the remaining crops.

"Manmohan Singh government was already paying MSP under the formula of A2 + FL (input cost + family labour) for about 1crop including wheat where 72 per cent profit was given over the production as MSP for rabi in 2013-14," said AIKSCC convener VM Singh.

Reacting to the Central government's Minimum Support Price (MSP) announcement for Kharif crops for marketing season 2018-19, Yogendra Yadav, president of Swaraj India and founder of Jai Kisan Andolan, congratulated all farmers' organisations for the heroic and historic struggle they have collectively waged against the anti-farmer Modi govt for last 4 years, that has compelled the government to admit that remunerative prices are not being given to farmers and agrarian distress is being neglected.

He said, "The MSP announcements of Kharif 2018-19 is a small victory for farmers; in this election year, the Modi government has been forced to partially act, at least on paper, on the promise of remunerative MSP that it had made before the previous election."
