Under the scheme, the state pays farmers the difference between a crop’s modal price and minimum support price, if the modal price falls below the MSP. The government credits the amount directly into the accounts of registered farmers.

SEA believes that the move will not only provide minimum support price to mustard farmers but also solve the storage problem which the government faces for storing the procured commodity. This will also ensure proper availability in the spot markets and oil millers.
