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 announces Minimum Support Price (MSP) for
major agricultural commodities each year in both the Crop seasons after taking into

(CACP).
In the scheme for the procurement of Copra in the year of 2020, as per the
guidelines of Government of India (Department of Agriculture and Co-operation) the
