## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

क ृ षि एवं षकसान कल् याण मंत्री (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) & (b) : Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (PM-AASHA) is an umbrella scheme comprising Price Support Scheme (PSS), Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS) and  Private  Procurement  &  Stockist  Scheme  (PPSS)  to  ensure  remunerative  prices  to farmers for their produce of notified oilseeds, pulses and copra of Fair Average Quality (FAQ). These schemes are implemented at the request of the State / Union Territories Governments as and when the market price of these commodity fall below the notified Minimum Support

Price  (MSP).  PSS  is  implemented  for  procurement  of  pulses,  oilseeds  and  copra  of  Fair Average  Quality  (FAQ).  The  PDPS  is  implemented  for  notified  oilseeds  crops.  However, States/UTs have options to choose either PSS or PDPS in a given procurement season with respect to a particular oilseed crop for the entire State. PDPS does not involve any physical procurement but envisages direct payment of the difference between the MSP and the selling /  Modal price to pre- registered farmers selling the oilseeds crops of prescribed FAQ norms within the stipulated period in the notified market yard through a transparent auction process. Besides, PPSS is also implemented for oilseeds on pilot basis and States have the option for implementation of PPSS in district/selected APMC(s) of district involving the participation of selected private agencies.

(c) & (d) : State-wise and district-wise details of the procurement centres, crops purchased and MSP value paid to the farmers under PSS during Kharif and Rabi 2022-23 season is  at Annexure-I.
