BHUBANESWAR: Union tribal affairs minister Jual Oram asked chief minister Naveen Patnaik to fix the minimum support price (MSP) of minor forest produce (MFP) gathered by tribals.

"I would like Odisha to provide MSP to the tribals at the haats where they bring the forest produce to sell. This will protect them from any possible exploitation by middlemen and traders," said Jual in his letter to Naveen on December 13. "I request you to look into the matter and issue suitable directions to officials in the best interest of tribals," he stated.

The minister informed that the Centre has sponsored a scheme called, "Mechanism for marketing of minor forest produce (MFP) through minimum support price(MSP) and development for value chain for MFP for 24 selected MFPs". This scheme will ensure fair price for MFPs gathered by tribals,he added. Jual said his ministry had provided Rs49.91 crore to Odisha in 2014 to undertake procurement under the scheme.But the state has procured the MFPs of Rs 3.8 crore only during the last four years of its operations,he added.

A team of officials from the Union ministry of tribal affairs,including managing director of the Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India Limited (TRIFED), had interacted with the state government officials at Bhubaneswar on September 15 to take the scheme forward. The matter was then followed up by officialsof boththestate and the Centre through a series of meetings.
