## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)

- (a)  &  (b):    As  per  the  National  Policy  on  Disaster  Management  (NPDM),  the  primary responsibility for disaster management, including disbursal of relief assistance on ground level,  rests  with  the  State  Governments  concerned.  The  State  Governments  undertake relief  measures  in  the  wake  of  natural  calamities,  from  State  Disaster  Response  Fund (SDRF) already placed at their disposal, in accordance with Government of India approved items  and  norms.  The  Central  Government  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  State Governments  and provides  requisite  logistics  and  financial  support.  Additional  financial

assistance is provided from National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), as per laid down procedure, in case of disaster of 'severe nature', which includes an assessment based on the visit of an Inter-Ministerial Central Team (IMCT).

As per information received from Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the details of the crop area affected by floods in States/UTs, during the Monsoon 2025 is at Annexure-I

- (c): As  per  First  advance  estimates  2025-26,  the  kharif  foodgrain  production  is estimated at record 1733.30 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) which is higher by 38.70 LMT over last year's kharif Foodgrain production of 1694.60 lakh tonnes resulting in 2.28 % growth over 2024-25.
- (d): The State wise details of farmers enrollment and claims paid during Kharif 2025 under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana is at Annexure-II.
- (e) & (f): Government  fixes  Minimum  Support  Prices  (MSPs)  for  22  mandated agricultural crops and Fair & Remunerative Price (FRP) for sugarcane, for the country as a whole  and  not  Statewise,  on  the  basis  of  the  recommendations  of  the  Commission  for Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP), after considering the views of State Governments and Central Ministries/Departments concerned. The 22 mandated crops include 14 Kharif crops viz.  paddy,  jowar,  bajra,  maize,  ragi,  tur  (arhar),  moong,  urad,  groundnut,  soyabean, sunflower, sesamum, nigerseed, cotton and 6 Rabi crops viz. wheat, barley, gram, masur (lentil),  rapeseed & mustard, safflower and two commercial crops viz. jute and copra. In addition,  MSP for  toria  and  de-husked  coconut  are  also  fixed  on  the  basis  of  MSPs  of rapeseed/mustard and copra respectively.

While  recommending  MSPs,  CACP  considers  important  factors  like  cost  of production, overall demand-supply conditions, domestic and international prices, inter-crop price parity, terms of trade between agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, the likely effect on the rest of the economy, besides ensuring rational utilization of land, water and other production resources and a minimum of 50 percent as the margin over cost of production.

The details of MSPs fixed by Government from 2021-22 to 2025-26 is at Annexure-III.
