AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE DEPARTMENT

IMPLEMENTATION OF PRICE SUPPORT SCHEME (PSS) FOR PROCUREMENT OF BLACKGRAM IN TAMIL NADU

[G.O.(2D) No. 128, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (AP 4), 4th August 2022,

Ý® 19, சுபகிருது, F¼õœÀõ˜ ݇´&2053.]

No. II(1)/AGFW/36(b)/2022.

Crop calendar and Harvesting period of

Blackgram in the State of Tamil Nadu

A remunerative and stable price environment for Blackgram

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).
