MSP FOR TORIA INCREASED BY RS.100
While fixing the Minimum Support
Price (MSP) for Rapeseed/Mustard the Cabinet Committee on Economic
Affairs had asked Ministry of Agriculture to fix MSP for Toria
on the basis of their normal price differentials.
Based on normal market price
differentials between Toria and Rapeseed/Mustard, the Minimum
support Price (MSP) of Toria of fair Average Quality (FAQ) for
2001-2002 Crop to be marketed in 2002-03 has been fixed at Rs.1265/-
per quintal. This marks an increase of Rs.100/- per quintal over
the price fixed for the previous year i.e. 2001-2002.
The National Agricultural cooperative
Marketing Federation of India Ltd. (NAFED) will as hitherto provide
Price Support to Toria to ensure Minimum Support price to the
farmers as agreed terms and conditions.
