Stand of the Government

In 2014 the union government has promised to offer 50 per cent margin over cost C2 but this was never implemented in letter and spirit.

Recently, Finance ministry has announced that the MSP will be in lines with its earlier announcement on Rabi crops.

In budget 2018-2019, Finance Ministry has announced a hike in MSP for Kharif crops.

Farmers are not satisfied with the announcement as the MSP formula used by the government is blurred.
