Crop calendar and Harvesting period of
Green gram in the State of Tamil Nadu
A remunerative and stable price for Green gram farmers is
very much imperative for increasing agricultural production and
productivity. The market price of agricultural produce many times
tend to be unstable and volatile resulting in undue losses to the
farmers 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 farmers for their produce
with a view to encourage higher investment & production and
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.
In this regard, the Government announces Minimum Support
Price (MSP) for major agricultural commodities every year for kharif
and Rabi seasons after taking into account the recommendations of
the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP).
