Crop calendar and Harvesting period of
Green gram in the State of Tamil Nadu
A remunerative and stable price environment for Green 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).
