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:
