The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), led by Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has given its approval for a hike in the Minimum Support Prices (MSP) of all mandated Kharif crops for the Marketing Season 2023-24. This decision aims to provide greater support and financial security to farmers across the country. The increased MSP will ensure that farmers receive fair remuneration for their produce, encouraging agricultural growth and sustainability. By enhancing the MSP, the government endeavors to promote agricultural productivity, improve rural livelihoods, and strengthen the overall economy. This step underscores the government’s commitment to the welfare of farmers and the agricultural sector.
The increase in Minimum Support Prices for Kharif Crops in the Marketing Season 2023-24 aligns with the announcement made in the Union Budget 2018-19. The objective is to set the MSP at a minimum of 1.5 times the All-India weighted average Cost of Production, ensuring fair remuneration for farmers. The projected profit margins for farmers over their production costs are expected to be highest for bajra at 82%, followed by tur at 58%, soybean at 52%, and urad at 51%. For the remaining crops, the estimated margin for farmers over their production costs is at least 50%. This increase in MSP aims to support farmers’ livelihoods and ensure their financial well-being.
