Crop Calendar and
Harvesting Period of
Blackgram in the State
of Tamil Nadu
A Remunerative and stable price environment for Blackgram growers/farmers is
very important for increasing agricultural production and productivity. The market price
for agricultural produce many times tends to be unstable and volatile which may result
in undue losses to the growers and discourage adoption of the modern technology and
required inputs.
The Government’s price policy for agricultural commodities seeks to ensure remunerative
prices to the growers for their produce with a view to encourage higher investment and
production and to safeguard the interest of consumers by making available supplies at
reasonable prices with low cost of intermediation. The price policy also seeks to evolve
a balanced and integrated price structure in the perspective of the overall needs of the
economy.
Towards this end, the Government announce Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for major
agricultural commodities each year in both the Crop seasons after taking into account the
recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP).
In the scheme for the procurement of Blackgram in the year of 2018-2019 as per
the guidelines of Government of India, (Department of Agriculture and Cooperation) the
notifi cation regarding Crop calendar and harvesting period of Blackgram in the State of
Tamil Nadu is to be required as part of proposal.
