Consultations on with States, NITI Aayog to increase the income of farmers

New Delhi:
Farmers are not getting the mimimum support price (MSP) for their crops, and efforts are being made so that they get the right remuneration, Radha Mohan Singh, Agriculture Minister, said on Friday.

During Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha, Singh said that from his experience he felt that farmers often did not get the price settled as the MSP.

“My experience is largely of [the area] from Delhi to Kolkata. And in the 100 km around these areas, the MSP is not reaching paddy farmers,” said Singh, adding that the process of procurement in the States was being monitored.

“There is a scheme... apart from wheat and paddy, there are items for which MSP is announced. There is a price support scheme that whenever the price drops below the MSP, the government should buy. When a proposal comes from a State, the Centre gives money for the purchase.

“I would like to inform that for over 8-lakh tonnes were procured for pulses, cotton, etc,” the Minister said.
