Will legalising MSP reduce the import bill for edible oils and pulses?

Rediff.com12 Mar 2024

The protesting farmers' main demand to legalise the minimum support price (MSP) regime has divided opinion.

Contrary to popular perception, India has a trade surplus in agriculture and allied activities, which stood at $18.65 billion during 2022-23 (FY23) against $15.92 billion in the previous year. However, the surplus was mainly on account of rice, wheat, sugar, spices, and buffalo meat.
