Govt has asked states to ensure payment of MSP to farmers: Radha Mohan Singh

New Delhi, Jan 5 (UNI) The government on Friday said that it had written to state governments to ensure that farmers were given the minimum support price set by the government for 22 commodities.
``We have set up a committee and will soon hold a workshop with agriculture officers, other stakeholders and NITI Ayog for evolving a mechanism whereby farmers were given MSP,’’ Minister for Agriculture Radha Mohan Singh said in the Rajya Sabha during Question Hour.
Members said they were not satisfied with the reply and raised queries on whether government will give 50 per cent over and above the production cost to farmers.
