The decision to build two lakh new warehouses

This will be Rs 35 thousand crore more than the last crop season. Compared to 2004-14, more procurement was done on every crop during Modi's tenure.

This is continuity in policy while focusing on farmers."

 

A total of 23 crops are included in the scope of MSP

The new MSP of cotton will be Rs 7,121. The MSP of another variety of this will be Rs 7,521. This is Rs 501 more than before. Sesame has been fixed at Rs 632 per quintal and tur dal at Rs 550 per quintal. MSP is the fixed price which is approximately one and a half times more than the cost of the produce to the farmers. On the recommendation of the Commission for Agricultural Cost and Prices, both the Central and State Governments decide it after discussion. Currently, a total of 23 crops have been included in the scope of MSP.
