Overview

Randomized trial analyzes effectiveness of price support operations in agriculture, highlighting implications for farmer income.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze the coverage and effectiveness of price support operations for agricultural produce, focusing on farmer experiences in Gujarat.
  • Collected primary data from 800 households across eight agro-climatic zones in Gujarat.
  • Utilized both secondary and primary statistics for analysis.
  • Compared market prices with minimum support prices (MSP) over five marketing seasons.
  • Average market prices of paddy were below MSP from KMS 2017-18 to KMS 2021-22, except in Punjab.
  • Groundnut prices were below MSP for most days across Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh.
  • Farmers frequently sold produce below MSP due to inadequate procurement and logistical challenges.
