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 announces 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 Green Gram during Kharif 2019, as per
the guidelines for Price Support Scheme (PSS) (oilseeds, pulses & cotton), May, 2014
issued by the Government of India, (Department of Agriculture and Cooperation) the
notification regarding Crop calendar and Harvesting period of Green Gram in the State
of Tamil Nadu is to be required as a part of proposal.
Therefore, Government of Tamil Nadu is willing to implement the Price Support
Scheme (PSS) and its operation in Tamil Nadu and accordingly declare the following
