Farmers' organisations said that the prices of seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, fuel and others have spiked the cost of production, but the paddy MSP has been increased by only Rs 1 per kg.

Chennai: Paddy farmers in Tamil Nadu are disappointed with the recently fixed minimum support price (MSP) for paddy.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, on August 30, announced the paddy prices for the upcoming procurement season of 2022-23. It has been fixed at Rs 2,160 per quintal for the common variety and Rs 2,115 per quintal for the Grade A variety of paddy. The prices have increased by Rs 100 and Rs 75 per quintal, respectively.

Stalin directed the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation (TNCSC) to pay paddy farmers the hiked MSP starting from September 1.

Farmers were hoping the procurement price would at least be fixed at Rs 2,500 per quintal as promised by the ruling party Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in its election campaign.

‘STICK TO POLL PROMISE’

Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam (Tamil Nadu Farmers’ Association), affiliated with the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), pointed out that the state government’s announced MSP for paddy is very low.

“As per the Swaminathan Commission's recommendation, if the Government procures produce at economic cost of production plus 50%, the farmers should get Rs 2,707.5 per quintal,” reads the AIKS statement released on August 31.
