agricultural produce many times tends to be unstable and volatile which may result

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 Kharif 2021, as per
the guidelines for Price Support Scheme (PSS) (oilseeds, pulses & cotton),
