Crop calendar and
Harvesting period of
Black gram in the State of
Tamil Nadu
A remunerative and stable price environment for Black gram 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).
In the scheme for the procurement of Black gram in the year of 2023-2024 Rabi
season as per the Amended guidelines for Price Support Scheme (PSS) (Pulses, Oil
Seeds & Copra) October 2018 issued by the Government of India, (Department of
Agriculture, Co-operation & Farmers Welfare), the notification regarding Crop calendar
and harvesting period of black gram in the State of Tamil Nadu is to be required
as part of 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:—
