Govt's MSP for mangoes a rotten deal for growers
Bengaluru: Although well-intended, the govt's market intervention to rescue mango growers from a price crash has backfired, leaving thousands of farmers worse off. They have been forced to sell their produce at a fraction of the cost of cultivation and are still waiting for payment nearly two weeks after registering. While the scheme aimed to provide relief by procuring mangoes at a minimum support price (MSP), many farmers say the compensation is so low that it's compounding their losses rather than reducing them. "Not a single beneficiary has got money although it is 15 days since 6,000 farmers registered for the scheme," said Neelatur Chinnappa Reddy, president, Kolar Mango Growers' Association. "Crops are decaying with the govt taking its time. But the main issue is the low price the govt has fixed. It does not cover even 25% of production costs." You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Official data shows Karnataka had a bumper yield of 10 lakh tonnes of mangoes from 1.3 lakh hectares this season. That bounty — along with low exports — led to a market glut and a sharp price crash, especially in Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Bengaluru South, and Bengaluru Rural districts. To soften the blow, the state decided to infuse Rs 101 crore — 50% to be borne by the Centre — in the market and procure 2.5 lakh tonnes of mangoes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Drink 1 Cup Every Morning – See What Happens A Week Later! Health Watcher Undo The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) had pegged MSP at Rs 1,616 per quintal (or Rs 16.2/kg). But the state chose to offer just 25% of this — only if market prices dipped below that level — effectively capping the payout at Rs 4 per kg. Given that average cost of production stands at over Rs 12 per kg, the scheme is being slammed as inadequate and flawed. "MSP should be increased to Rs 12 to match production cost," said Reddy. "The cap of five acres should be increased to 10 and the cap on quantity of procurement should be increased from two tonnes per acre to four." Adding to farmers' woes is a delay in payments, as Karnataka State Mango Development and Marketing Corporation has not yet opened a direct benefit transfer (DBT) account. The finance department is yet to grant approval. Reddy said the growers' association has given the govt time till Wednesday to resolve issues. "Failing which, they will lay siege to Kolar deputy commissioner's office," he said. Farmers also allege that the scheme's eligibility rules exclude most of them. Of the nearly 95,000 mango growers in Karnataka, only 6,673 have been able to register, largely because most cultivate mixed crops like ragi or green gram along with mangoes — a practice disqualified under current rules. Agriculture minister N Cheluvarayaswamy acknowledged the procedural roadblocks and said he would take up the issue with chief minister Siddaramaiah. "Although MSP for mangoes is handled by the departments of cooperation and horticulture, the CM asked me to oversee it. I will bring these issues to his notice," said Cheluvarayaswamy. Kolar district minister Byrathi Suresh also promised quick action. "I will speak to finance officials to ensure approval to open a DBT account," he said.
