Centre Raises Rabi MSPs for 2027-28, Minister Says

The Centre raised the guaranteed support prices for several crops grown in the rabi, or winter, season.

These prices will apply during the 2027-28 marketing season.

Wheat will have an MSP of ₹2,610 per quintal.

Barley, gram, masur, rapeseed and mustard, and safflower also received higher prices.

Safflower received the biggest increase.

Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu said the changes could help farmers earn more.

He said better prices for pulses and oilseeds might encourage farmers to grow different crops.

The state government also plans to help farmers get seeds, fertilisers, and other supplies on time.

It may step into markets when needed to help farmers receive remunerative prices.
