Only 23.7% and 24.7% paddy produced was sold under MSP in Kharif and Rabi season respectively of 2018-19

Only about 24 per cent paddy and 20 per cent wheat is sold under minimum support price (MSP) in India, according to the findings of the 77th round of the National Sample Survey report.  

The data from the report, titled Situation Assessment of Agricultural Households and Land and Holdings of Households in Rural India, 2019, is from 2018-2019 agricultural year (July 2018-June 2019). 

The report also underlined the percentage of farmer families aware of the procurement agency under MSP they should sell the crop to.

Only 14.5 and 18.5 per cent farmer families sold their produce to the government procurement agency under MSP in the Kharif and Rabi season respectively. This figure was even less for wheat — only 9.7 per cent farmer families sold their crops to the procurement agency under MSP. 

A very minuscule number of farmer families sold crops such as maize, jowar, groundnut and rapeseed to procurement agencies. 

As much as 27.9 and 40.7 per cent sugarcane was sold in Kharif and Rabi season to procurement agencies — the highest among other crops.
