Bihar Government must Guarantee Procurement of all Crops at MSP

 

CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal said that the decision of the Bihar government to procure chana and masur dal at support price is inadequate. Our demand is that the government must procure all crops at support price. The MSP for paddy has been fixed at Rs 1868 per quintal, but it is doubtful that paddy is procured at this rate anywhere in Bihar. Our paddy growing farmers are forced to sell their produce at Rs 800-900 per quintal. This situation should not arise for chana and masur dal also.
