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 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 Green gram during Rabi 2019-2020, as per the
guidelines for Price Support Scheme (PSS) (oilseeds, pulses & cotton), May, 2014 issued by

(PSS) and its operation in Tamil Nadu and accordingly declare the following details:-
