No. II(1)/AG/13(c)/2020.
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 2020 Kharif
season as per the guidelines for Price Support Scheme (Oil Seeds, Pulses
and Cotton) May 2014 issued by the 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.
