## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंालय म राय मंी (SHRI GAJENDRA SINGH SHEKHAWAT)

- (a): Government of India has been implementing various programmes such as National Food Security Mission (NFSM) and National Mission on Oilseeds & Oil palm (NMOOP) to improve the production  of  pulses,  grains  and  essentials  edible  oils  in  Gujarat.  Besides,  under  Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) also, fund is being provided to states for improving the production of these commodities.
- (b): The  state-wise  and  year-wise  allocation,  released  and  expenditure  reported  by  states under NFSM & NMOOP from 2013-14 to 2017-18 is annexed.
- (c): Government of India announces Minimum Support Price (MSP) for specified agricultural produces on the basis of recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), the views of State Governments and Central Ministries and other factors considered important for fixation of support prices.  The objective of the MSP mechanism is to provide a guarantee to the farmers to realize a reasonable and remunerative price for their produce.

Government has increased the MSPs for all notified Kharif & Rabi Crops including pulses and other commercial crops for the season 2018-19 with a return of atleast 50 percent over cost of production. This decision of the Government was a historic one as it redeemed the promise of fixing the MSPs at least at a level of 50 percent return over cost of production as announced in the Union Budget 2018-19.

Government of India is implementing umbrella scheme of 'Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay SanraksHan Abhiyan' (PM-AASHA), comprising Price Support Scheme (PSS), Price Deficiency Payment  Scheme  (PDPS)  and  Pilot  of  Private  Procurement  and  Stockist  Scheme  (PPSS). Under this, States/UTs are offered to choose either of PSS and PDPS in a given procurement season with respect to particular oilseeds crop for the entire State. The pulses and copra are procured  under  PSS.    Further,  States  have  the  option  to  roll  out  Private  Procurement  and Stockist  Scheme  (PPSS)  on  pilot  basis  in  district/selected  APMC  (s)  of  district  involving  the participation of private stockist.

In  case  of  Cereals  including  Nutri-Cereals,  Food  Corporation  of  India  and  other designated agencies viz. National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India and Small Farmers' Agribusiness Consortium   continue to provide the price support to the farmers.
