ExplainSpeaking: Why record food grain production may trigger renewed demands for MSPs (Indian Express)

February 21, 2022


Indian Express published an article that stated that over the past six years more and more farmers protested against poor remuneration even when this period had seen a sustained increase in farm output. MSPs might be the answer. In a recent paper titled, “Minimum support prices in India: Distilling the facts” the authors, Prankur Gupta (University of Texas, Austin), Reetika Khera (IIT-Delhi), and Sudha Narayanan (IFPRI) have tried to make sense of the role of MSPs. This paper was published in the Review of Agrarian Studies (January-June 2021).
