Farm prices
Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.
Agricultural price formation works through MSP fixation methodology using CACP's A2+FL and C2 cost formulas, with the political demand for a C2+50% legal guarantee. Government procurement is conducted by FCI and state agencies, yet only ~6% of farmers actually realise MSP. APMC mandi fragmentation limits market integration; e-NAM is the key unifying reform. The Price Stabilisation Fund addresses price volatility in perishables such as onion, tomato, and potato.
