Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced that the Narendra Modi government will purchase all farm produce at minimum support price (MSP).
This declaration was made during a session in the Rajya Sabha on Friday, where Chouhan answered questions regarding the issue of MSP for farmers. This assurance is particularly significant as it comes at a time when farmers have embarked on a foot march to Delhi, with a charter of demands that includes a legal guarantee for MSP.
The government’s commitment to purchasing all farm produce at MSP not only provides a sense of security to farmers, but also demonstrates their dedication towards supporting and protecting the agricultural sector, which plays a crucial role in the country’s economy. With this move, the government aims to address the concerns of farmers and ensure that they receive fair prices for their produce.
