[G.O.(2D). No. 206, Agriculture (AP4), 4th December 2020, கார்த்திகை 19, சார்வரி, திருவள்ளுவர் ஆண்டு-2051.] No. II(1)/AG/25(a-1)/2020.
Crop calendar and Harvesting period of Green Gram in the State of Tamil Nadu
A remunerative and stable price environment for Green Gram 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 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 2020-2021, 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 notifi cation 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, the Government of Tamil Nadu is willing to implement the Price Support Scheme (PSS) and its operation in Tamil Nadu and accordingly declare the following details:
