Deep dives

The Demand for Minimum Support Price (MSP)

Farmers' demand for a minimum support price (MSP) for their crops stems from the issue of oversupply in the market, which drives down prices and causes losses for farmers. The MSP is a price set by the government to protect farmers from market losses. However, the lack of legal codification of MSP procurement is a major concern for the protesting farmers. Legalizing MSP could provide support to a significant portion of the farming community and prevent them from falling into a debt spiral.
