Crop calendar and Harvesting period of

Greengram in the State of Tamil Nadu

A remunerative and stable price environment for Greengram

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 announce 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).
