Talk:Minimum support price (India)

Untitled
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 less 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.

Jargon-loading
, I don't think it helps to jargon-load the lead. It would be better to cover them in the body, and explain what these schemes are. Follow MOS:LEAD please. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Liquidated intro jargon; easy does it. Getting there. DTM (talk) 11:57, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * advisory agricultural product price is quite impenetrable. I see no use outside of this article. TrangaBellam (talk) 13:34, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You wrote, Save five or six states, due to lack of implementation and enforcement, it does not matter to the farmer what MSP has been announced as the farmer is not going to be renumerated at such prices, leaving the whole process merely a paper one, with no benefit to [the] farmer, consumer or nation.
 * This was cited to a 2003 "commentary" by one agricultural economist. However, (Gupta, Khera, and Narayanan 2021) reject this dated evidence. TrangaBellam (talk) 13:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ; advisory agricultural product price changed to advisory price signal. Even I am not happy with this but it is less wordy; even simply "advisory price" will work, "administered advisory price". I have added statistics related to awareness of MSP and implementation in the form of product bought at MSP and removed that line Save five or six states. I liked these comments, any others?
