Minimum Support Price(MSP) operations :

  Prior to 2000-2001 , Farmers were  facing problems to get remunerative prices to their produce due to globalisation and privatisation. In order to ensure Minimum Support Price to the farmers, the Central and State Governments are taking up Price Support Operations in the country by purchasing the Agricultural produce from the farmers directly at the Government notified Minimum Support Prices, to protect the farmers from  exploitation of Millers and Traders and to ensure stability of production. Government of India will fix and communicate the MSP to all the Agricultural commodities before commencement of Marketing Season every year, on the recommendations of Agriculture Price Commission.

     During KMS 2000-01,the farmers of A.P. faced serious problems for marketing their Paddy and Maize. In order to help the farmers, Govt. of A.P., after series of meetings with the officers of State and Central Govt., a study on  the procedures being adopted in different States particularly in Punjab state, evolved a comprehensive programme to ensure MSP to the farmers  of A.P. The Govt. has formulated  Operational guidelines in the beginning of Marketing year to ensure MSP to the farmers and  avoid distress sales.
