Department of Consumer Affairs on Tuesday announced increasing domestic production of pulses. The department said in a statement that it has removed the procurement ceilings of 40 per cent for tur, urad, and Masur under Price Support Scheme (PSS) operations for 2023-24.
According to the statement, the decision, in effect, assures the procurement of these pulses from farmers at minimum support price (MSP) without ceilings.
It further added that the assured procurement of these pulses at remunerative prices will help motivate the farmers to enhance the sowing area in respect of tur, urad, and masur in the upcoming Kharif and Rabi sowing seasons in order to enhance production.
