Are there any challenges or criticisms associated with the Price Support Scheme?
While the Price Support Scheme aims to benefit farmers, it does face some challenges and criticisms. One criticism is that the MSPs are often set higher than the prevailing market prices, which can distort market dynamics and discourage private buyers. Moreover, the implementation of the scheme may vary across different regions, with some farmers having limited access to procurement centers or facing delays in payments. Critics also argue that the scheme primarily benefits large-scale farmers, while small and marginalized farmers may not fully benefit from it. Efforts are being made to address these challenges and make the scheme more effective and inclusive.
