Minimum Support Price (MSP) The central government of India set minimum support price based on recommendations it receives from the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices. MSP based procurement system is aimed to save the crops from price fluctuations due to various unwanted factors such as the monsoon, lack of market integration, information asymmetry, and other elements of market imperfection ploughing Indian agriculture. However, currently, it does not have any legal backing. Currently, the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, has the responsibility of fixing the MSP in the country.
