The data was shared with Rajya Sabha Friday by Raosaheb Patil Danve, Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, who gave a written reply to an unstarred question.

The number of wheat farmers who availed the minimum support price (MSP) has doubled in the last five years, while the number of such paddy farmers has increased by 70 per cent during the same period, according to the latest official data.

The data was shared with Rajya Sabha Friday by Raosaheb Patil Danve, Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, who gave a written reply to an unstarred question.

It assumes significance given that farmers in Punjab and Haryana have taken to the streets, fearing that the proposed farm laws will ring in the end of the MSP regime. On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi allayed fears, saying his government is committed to provide a fair price to farmers through MSP and government procurement will continue as before.
