Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements.
- Farmers can demand MSP as a matter of right.
- Pulses constitute the maximum number of crops announced under minimum support price (MSP).
- Sugarcane, cotton, copra and raw jute are the commercial crops covered under MSP.
How many of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Only Statement 3 is correct.
The Centre announces MSPs for 23 crops, including seven cereals (paddy, wheat, maize, bajra, jowar, ragi and barley), five pulses (chana, tur/arhar, moong, urad and masur), seven oilseeds (mustard-rapeseed, groundnut, soyabean, sunflower, sesamum, safflower and nigerseed) and four commercial crops (sugarcane, cotton, copra and raw jute).
The MSP is an indicative price; it does not have statutory backing, and farmers cannot demand MSP as a matter of right. In most crops grown across much of India, the prices received by farmers, especially during harvest time, are well below the officially-declared MSPs.
