The central government has increased the maximum support price (MSP) on paddy by Rs 72 per quintal. This increased the MSP of paddy to Rs 1,940 per quintal for the financial year 2021-22. 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. Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar gave this information on Wednesday. Several other decisions were also taken in the meeting of the Union Cabinet held under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Agriculture Minister said that the maximum support price for crops is being increased and it will be done in future also.

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).'
