The Government agencies have procured 3,273.16 MT moong as on September 19, 2016, since the start of arrival of new crop in the market, benefiting 330 farmers. The Government agencies - FCI, NAFED and SFAC have set up about 200 centres to procure moong direct from farmers at Minimum Support Price (MSP) amounting to Rs 4,800 and a bonus at Rs 425 during kharif 2016-17 season.
The procurement was started in the second week of current month in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Parades, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The agencies have been directed to publicize their procurement activities among farmers through various modes in local languages in pulses producing states so that farmers can get the benefit of MSP.
Besides, the MSPs for kharif crops grown in 2016 will be applicable from September 1, 2016, as the harvested crops sown in kharif may reach the market even before October. The government announces MSPs in each season for major agricultural commodities to ensure remunerative prices to the farmers for their produce.
