CACP MSP Crop Recommendation Details

The Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) is the nodal agency responsible for recommending Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for various agricultural produce. The government announces MSPs for 22 mandated agricultural commodity groups.

The question asks for the number of crops for which CACP recommends MSP, specifically excluding sugarcane.

The CACP recommends MSP for 22 crops. This figure typically includes 14 crops from the Rabi season and 8 from the Kharif season. Sugarcane MSP is determined separately by the government based on a statutory formula, and is thus excluded from this count as per the question's criteria.

Therefore, the number of crops for which CACP recommends MSP, excluding sugarcane, is 22.
