IMPLEMENTATION OF PRICE SUPPORT SCHEME (PSS) FOR PROCUREMENT OF GREENGRAM IN TAMIL NADU
[G.O.(2D) No. 129, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (AP 4), 4th August 2022,

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).
