MSP of all the mandated crops will be fixed at levels of at least 1.5 times of all India weighted average
cost of production. The MSP for Fair Average Quality of milling copra has been fixed at Rs.12,027/- per
quintal and for ball copra at Rs.12,500/- per quintal for 2026 season.
The MSP for 2026 season is an increase of Rs.445/- per quintal for milling copra and Rs.400/- per quintal
for ball copra over the previous season. The Government has increased MSP for milling copra and ball
copra from Rs.5,250 per quintal and Rs.5,500 per quintal for the marketing season 2014 to Rs.12,027 per
quintal and Rs.12,500 per quintal for the marketing season 2026, registering a growth of 129 percent and

A higher MSP will not only ensure better remunerative returns to the coconut growers but also incentivize
farmers to expand copra production to meet the growing demand for coconut products both domestically
and internationally.
National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd. (NAFED) and National Cooperative
Consumers’ Federation (NCCF) will continue to act as Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) for procurement
