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

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

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
