very important for increasing Coconut production and productivity. The market
price for Copra many times tends to be unstable and volatile resulting in undue
losses to the growers /farmers as well as discourages 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
overall perspective of the needs of the economy.
Towards this end, the Government announces Minimum Support Price (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 Copra in the year of 2022, as per the
guidelines of Government of India (Department of Agriculture and Co-operation),
the notification regarding Crop calendar and harvesting period of Coconut in
Tamil Nadu is to be required as a part of the 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:
