<h1>Government Raises MSP for Rabi Crops 2024-25: Lentil Gets Highest Hike, Aligns with Union Budget Goals.</h1> The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved increased Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for Rabi crops for the 2024-25 marketing season to ensure remunerative prices for farmers. The highest MSP increase is for lentil at Rs.425 per quintal, followed by rapeseed mustard at Rs.200 per quintal. Wheat and safflower see a Rs.150 increase per quintal, while barley and gram increase by Rs.115 and Rs.105 per quintal, respectively. This aligns with the Union Budget 2018-19's goal of setting MSP at 1.5 times the cost of production.
