Resolving farm crisis: Assured procurement of pulses at MSP -DS Bains

-Hindustan Times

The country has to develop and adopt more efficient crop production techniques along with favourable marketing policies and price support mechanism. The lack of an assured market is the main reason for the poor availability of pulses

India is the largest producer of pulses. Since the population has low-income levels and people are largely vegetarian, pulses provide good quality protein, and they contribute significantly to the nutritional security of the nation. In India, pulses are cultivated in both the kharif (autumn) and rabi (spring) seasons. Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka account for nearly 80% of the total area under pulses. The important pulses produced in India are gram (chickpea), tur (pigeon pea), urad (black gram), moong (green gram), masoor (lentils) and peas.
