ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ िष और िकसान क(cid:670)ाण रा(cid:475) मं(cid:361)ी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR) (a) & (b): The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) conducted a Situation Assessment Survey (SAS) of Agricultural Households during NSS 77th round (January, 2019 – December, 2019) with reference to the agricultural year July, 2018- June, 2019 in the rural areas of the country. According to these surveys, the estimated average monthly income per agricultural household increased from ₹6,426 in 2012-13 (NSS 70th round) to ₹10,218 in 2018-19 (NSS 77th round).As per NSSO Survey on Household Consumption Expenditure (2023-24), a comparison of the estimates of all-India average Monthly Per Capita Consumption Expenditure (MPCE) shows increase in household expenditure in both rural & urban areas as below: Sector Average MPCE (Rs.) over different periods 2011-12 NSS (68th round) 2023-2024 Rural 1,430 4,122 Urban 2,630 6,996 The details of the cost of cultivation of crops for which MSP is declared is available at https://cacp.da.gov.in. Farm Harvest Prices of Principal Crops in India is available at https://desagri.gov.in. Every year, the Government fixes Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for 22 agricultural crops for the country as a whole, based on the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP), and after considering the views of the State Governments and Central Ministries/Departments concerned. The policy ensures a minimum margin of 50 percent over the all-India weighted average cost of production. The crop-wise Minimum Support Price of crops and procurement data for the last five years are placed at Annexure I & II. (c): The Government has taken various measures to provide remunerative prices to the farmers for their agricultural produce. Minimum Support Price (MSP) for 22 notified agricultural crops are fixed annually by the Government. Since 2014, farmers have received more than Rs. 27.80 lakh crore through MSP procurement of about 12819 LMT of agricultural produce. Government procures cereals and coarse cereals through Food Corporation of India (FCI) and other designated State Agencies to provide price support to the farmers. Cotton and Jute are also procured by Government at MSP through Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and Jute Corporation of India (JCI). Sugarcane is procured at Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP), recommended by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) and approved by the Government before the start of each sugarcane season.The procurement of agricultural produce has expanded beyond wheat and rice to pulses, oilseeds and horticulture produce through PM-AASHA Scheme. Procurement of oilseeds (groundnut, soybean, sunflower, sesamum, niger seed, rapeseed/ mustard, safflower), pulses (arhar, moong, urad, gram & masur) and copra is done under Price Support Scheme under umbrella scheme of Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (PM-AASHA), on the request of the concerned State Government as per the guidelines as and when market price of these produce fall below the MSP. Further, Price Deficit Payment Scheme (PDPS) component envisages direct payment of the difference between the MSP and the selling / modal price to pre-registered farmers selling oilseeds of prescribed FAQ norms within the stipulated period in the notified market yard through a transparent auction process. Government also implements Market Intervention Scheme (MIS), a component under PM-AASHA, for procurement of agricultural and horticultural commodities, which are perishable in nature and are not covered under the MSP regime. The objective of intervention is to protect the growers of these commodities from making distress sale in the event of a bumper crop during the peak arrival period when the prices tend to fall below economic levels and the cost of production. There should be at least a 10 percent decrease in the ruling market prices over the previous normal year. The scheme is implemented at the request of a State/UT government. Government has introduced a new component of Price Differential Payment (PDP) under Market intervention scheme (MIS) from 2024-25 season for direct payment of the price difference between the Market Intervention Price (MIP) and the selling price to the farmers of perishable crops. States/UTs have an option to choose either to do physical procurement of the crop or to make the differential payment between the MIP & Sale Price to the farmers. Further, from 2024-25 season, Government added another component under Market intervention scheme (MIS) for reimbursing the Storage and Transportation cost of TOP crops (Tomato, Onion and Potato) to central nodal agencies & State designated agencies for transporting them from the producing State to consuming states in the interest of the farmers. The Department of Consumer Affairs administers the Price Stabilisation Fund component of integrated PM-AASHA under which procurement is undertaken to maintain the buffer stocks of major pulses such as Tur, Urad, Chana, Moong, Masur and Onion.(d): Agriculture is a State subject. Government of India supplements the efforts of the States through a comprehensive range of Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Programmes aimed at increasing production, productivity, farmers’ income etc across the country. These schemes encompass entire spectrum of agriculture, including credit, insurance, income support, infrastructure, crops (including horticulture), seeds, mechanization, marketing, organic and natural farming, farmer collectives, irrigation, extension, digital agriculture and procurement of crops. The list of schemes is placed at Annexure-III. The schemes are implemented on a continuous basis subject to budgetary provisions approved by the Parliament from time to time. Further, the Government has substantially increased the budget allocation of Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare from ₹27,662.67 crore BE during 2013-14 to ₹1,40,416.57 crore BE during 2026-27.Annexure I Minimum Support Price (Marketing Season-Wise) (in ₹ per quintal) S.
