2018 India Budget: MSP Proportion Finding

The 2018 Union Budget of India addressed the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for agriculture products. It was stated that the MSP was set at a level which ensures a minimum profit margin.

Specifically, the budget documents indicated that the MSP was fixed at 1.7 times the cost of production, considering both out-of-pocket expenses and the imputed value of family labor. This aimed to provide farmers with a profitable return.

Therefore, the proportion of MSP relative to the estimated costs (often aligned with market value considerations) was established at 1.7 times.
