Crop calendar and Harvesting
period of Coconut in the State
of Tamil Nadu
A remunerative and stable price environment for Coconut growers/farmers is very
important for increasing Coconut production and productivity. The market price for
Copra many times tends to be unstable and volatile resulting in undue losses to the
growers/farmers as well as 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 overall perspective of the needs of
the economy.
Towards this end, the Government announce Minimum Support Price (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 Copra in the year of 2019-2020, as per the
guidelines of Government of India (Department of Agriculture and Co-operation) the
notifi cation regarding Crop calendar and harvesting period of Coconut in Tamil Nadu
is to be required as part of proposal.
Therefore, the Government of Tamil Nadu is willing to implement the Price Support
Scheme (PSS) and its operation in Tamil Nadu and accordingly declare the following
details:-
