IMPLEMENTATION OF PRICE SUPPORT SCHEME (PSS)-PROCUREMENT OF COPRA IN TAMIL NADU UNDER

Crop calendar and
Harvesting period of
Coconut in the State
of Tamil Nadu
A remunerative and stable price environment for Coconut growers/farmers is
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 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 Copra in the year of 2024, 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:
