In the previous financial year, the MSP of paddy stood at Rs 1,868 per quintal. The Union Cabinet on Wednesday gave its approval to the proposal to increase the maximum support price.

May prosperity comes and farming becomes profitable.
He said that 'It is a revolutionary decision of the Modi government to fix the MSP at the level of 1.5 times the cost of production (or at least 50% profit on the cost of production).'
