Thank You , Mamaji
( - aka Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhanji – Minister for Agriculture )
What for ?
For listening to my suggestion
What suggestion ?
To “ contain “ the overall burden on the exchequer due to increase announced in MSPs of major crops by “capping “ the maximum quantity ( MPQ = Max Purchase Quantity )
What gives you the idea that your suggestion has been considered ?
Following announcement :
( DDNews.Gov.in )
Extract :
“The Cabinet has approved the Minimum Support Price (MSP) on 14 Kharif season crops, including paddy, ragi, bajra, jowar, maize, and cotton. With today’s decision, farmers will get around Rs 2 lakh crore as MSP, which is Rs 35,000 crore more than the previous season,” Vaishnaw said.
How do you think , Shri Chouhan arrived at this figure of Rs 2 lakh crore ?
I don’t know for sure but following tabulation will give you an idea :

Hey , this makes sense ! When did you suggest this ?
Here is my email to our Cabinet Ministers :
Ø Point : Counter-Point // MSP : MPQ …………………….. 28 Nov 2021
Extract :
Dear Kisan Netas / Shri Tomarji,
Here too a Compromise Solution is possible in the spirit of Give and Take
It is : MSP linked with MPQ
Where, MPQ = Maximum Purchase Quantity ( separate figure for each of those 23 crops )
This means, in each year, Government shall not be obliged to purchase more than the MPQ ( at its MSP ), for any crop
The MSP and MPQ shall be worked out and announced by the govt. 6 months in advance of the coming year
As suggested in my following earlier blog-email, it is possible to automate this entire process of computation of MSP, by using Geo-Spatial Technology :
Agri Reforms : an Ongoing Process…………………….[ 20 Nov 2021 ]
Using same technology, it is possible to also calculate ( automatically and without human intervention ), the MPQ for each of those 23 crops for the upcoming year
This way, Govt will know in advance, the total amount of FUNDS that will be required for the coming season
And, knowing in advance, the MPQ / MSP for each crop, farmers will decide WHICH crop to plant and HOW MUCH to plant ( Demand / Supply / Price, dynamics in regulated manner )
On Govt web site, each purchase ( at MSP ) will be published ( individual and cumulative ) for each crop
This will show, how much total has been purchased ( for each crop ) and how much still remains to be purchased
When Govt purchase for an MSP crop reaches its stipulated MPQ ( for a given season / year ) , the Govt will stop buying and declare in all media
Irrespective of this provision, farmers will be free to negotiate with any trader / middleman / business , any SALE QUANTITY at any negotiated price ( whether higher or lower than published MSP )
Based on State-wise distribution ( of production ) of any particular crop, Central Government will work out State-wise QUOTAS of purchase quantities for each crop
23
∬ msp_1 x mpq_1 = Funds needed for Crop 1………..( insert data for all 23 crops, one by one )
