<h1>Government Increases Minimum Support Prices for Kharif Crops 2019-20 to Boost Farmers' Income and Encourage Agricultural Investment.</h1> The government has approved an increase in the Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for all kharif crops for the 2019-20 season to boost farmers' income and encourage investment in agriculture. Key increases include Rs. 65 per quintal for paddy, Rs. 120 for jowar, and Rs. 253 for ragi. Pulses like tur, moong, and urad see hikes of Rs. 125, Rs. 75, and Rs. 100 respectively. Oilseeds such as groundnut and soyabean are raised by Rs. 200 and Rs. 311 per quintal. The policy shift focuses on income security rather than just production, supported by schemes like PM-KISAN and PM-AASHA to ensure remunerative returns for farmers.
