waah.
Where i asked about benchmark of MSP in India mus be depend on Russia but at least it must be with international market.
If production price of any product in India...
more... is more then selling price of same product in international market then how viable the production o that product?
Now coming to your examples of shopkeepers of fertilizers, seeds, pesticides etc. then you must know that if there is any loss for shopkeepers then no one will help but if there wil be loss for farmers, he will get compensation. If there is more revenue to shopkeeper, he needs to pay income tax but earning from farming is completely tax free.
Even after such liberties if farming is a cause of loss then time not to curse your KISHMAT, UPARWALA etc. Time to curse on your decisions.
If you cannot choose wisely that which product will give you more revenue and you yourself jump into loss making production then fault is at your end.
I agree with both of your pictures and wants to move towards solution as well but encouragement of a product for which production cost is already more then international market cost is completely illogical. Instead farmers should think about which crop can have low production cost then international market selling price so even if there are surplus production in country, government can export that crop.
Currently farmers want full independent on production and then MSP support from government which is fully illogical.
Ye tp wahi baat ho gayi ki mera man me jaha chaahu apna paisa lgaau aur agar revenue nahi mile to railway track par baith ke Sarkar se support maangu.
please wait...Translate to EnglishWow. When talking about MSP benchmarks in India, it might be influenced by Russia but should at least align with the global market. If the cost of making a product in India is more than its selling price internationally, then what's the point of producing it, bro? Now let's talk about your examples of shopkeepers selling fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, etc. You should know that if a shopkeeper faces losses, no one will help, but if a farmer faces losses, they'll get compensated. If a shopkeeper earns more, they gotta pay taxes, but farming earnings are tax-free, you feel me? Even with all the freedom, if farming leads to losses, instead of blaming fate or God, you gotta blame yourself for making bad choices. If you can't smartly choose products that bring in profits and end up suffering losses, then it's on you, man. I get what you're saying and I'm down to find solutions, but promoting a product with production costs higher than the international market price is just plain silly. Farmers should focus on crops with lower production costs compared to international prices, so even if we have excess, the government can export the crop. Right now, farmers want full independence in production and still expect MSP support from the government, which makes no sense at all. It's like saying, "I'll invest my money wherever I want, and if I don't make profits, I'll sit on the railway tracks and ask the government for help." Crazy, right?
