Centre Approves Market Intervention Price for Totapuri Mangoes
Imagine mango farmers are selling their Totapuri mangoes, but the prices dropped too low.
The government stepped in to help!
They set a minimum price, like a safety net.
This 'Market Intervention Price' helps farmers get a fair price for their mangoes.
The government will help pay the difference if the market price is lower than the set price.
This helps farmers avoid losing money and keeps them growing mangoes.
The central and state governments are splitting the cost.
This is the first time the government is doing this for mangoes.
The Indian government approved a Market Intervention Price (MIP) for Totapuri mangoes to support farmers.
The MIP is set at Rs 1,490.73 per quintal, covering 1.62 lakh tonnes of mangoes.
The central and state governments will share the cost of the MIP on a 50:50 basis, using direct benefit transfers.
The decision came after the state government provided initial aid to mango farmers due to falling prices.
This marks the first time the Centre has announced MIS for mangoes.
