<h1>Centre to Support Andhra Pradesh Red Chilli Farmers with Market Intervention Scheme Amidst Price Drop</h1> The Union Agriculture Minister announced that the Centre will provide financial support to Andhra Pradesh's red chilli farmers under the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) due to a price drop. Discussions with the state's Chief Minister highlighted the need for assistance. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) will assess crop damage and production costs to aid in financial planning. Efforts to boost red chilli exports are also underway. The MIS is designed for perishable commodities not covered under the Minimum Support Price, allowing states to manage price differences. Plans include increasing coverage under MIS and organizing export opportunities.
