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).
