• The minimum support price (MSP) is an agricultural product price, set by the Government of India to purchase directly from the farmer.
• This is not enforceable by law.
• By definition, this rate is to safeguard the farmer to a minimum profit for the harvest, if the open market has lesser price than the cost incurred.
• The Indian government sets the price for 23 commodities twice a year.
• MSP is fixed on the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) since 2009.
