respective crops.  The sale of marketable surplus at these prices by the producers is voluntary as they are under no compulsion  to sell their produce at the support price.  The 
producers only sell their produce to the procurement agency when the market price falls below the support price level.  If mark et price remains above the support price the 
growers are free to sell their produce wherever they like.  Th erefore, strictly speaking, support prices are not the administer ed prices. 
Column 4: Price in Pakistan Rupees converted to US$ at  official exchange rate of 1$ = PRs 58.4378 for 2000-01. 
Column 5: External Reference Prices = Average fixed external reference prices for 1986/87 to 1988/89 in Pakistan Rupees convert ed to US$ at 1$ = PRs 17.9980 which was the

respective crops.  The sale of marketable surplus at these prices by the producers is voluntary as they are under no compulsion  to sell their produce at the support price.  The 
producers only sell their produce to the procurement agency when the market price falls below the support price level.  If mark et price remains abov e the support price the 
growers are free to sell their produce wherever they like.  Th erefore, strictly speaking support prices are not the administere d prices.
