Crop calendar and Harvesting period

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).
In the scheme for the procurement of Black gram in the year of
2023-2024 kharif season as per the Amended guidelines for Price Support
