Dear Shri Aldas Janaiah –ji,
I read with interest your following article in Business Line ( 03 Dec ) :
Why not an inflation – based MSP regime ?
Could it, possibly, set in motion a vicious circle of MSP and CPI , chasing each other ?

Dear Dr Panagariyaji,
Just read your following very illuminating article in today’s Times of India :
“ Real Cost of MSP for All Crops “
While totally agreeing with your lucid observations , I believe Govt will be obliged to find a “ compromise solution “, given its political / election compulsions
I would appreciate your comments on such a solution proposed in my following e-mail
With regards,

Dear Kisan Leaders / Shri Tomarji : It is time to Shake Hands
Context :
Farm stir may end as govt, unions near deal / HT / 08 Dec 2021
Extract :
In the letter sent through the Union home ministry, the Centre said it was willing to accept the major demands of the unions provided the farmers end their protests and return home.
The Union government and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), a platform of farm unions, appeared to be moving closer to an agreement to end a yearlong protest by cultivators, as the farm body on Tuesday discussed a set of draft proposals sent by the Centre but deferred a decision on calling off the agitation to Wednesday.
Dear Kisan Netas / Shri Tomarji :
From the above-mentioned news report, it seems that the only point on which there is no consensus so far, is :
Legally guaranteed MSP for all 23 crops
For reaching a solution on MSP , which safeguards the interest of all stakeholders ( Farmers / Central Govt / State Govts / Food Processing Industry / country’s Food Security vis-à-vis our Food Storage Capacity / Trading Community / Food Grain Exporters etc ), I urge you to consider suggestions made in my following earlier e-mails :
Point : Counter-Point // MSP : MPQ ……………………….[ 28 Nov 2021 ]
Extract :
Here too a Compromise Solution is possible in the spirit of Give and Take
It is : MSP linked with MPQ
Where, MPQ = Maximum Purchase
This means, in each year, Government shall not be obliged to purchase more than the MPQ ( at its MSP ), for any crop
The MSP and MPQ shall be worked out and announced by the govt. 6 months in advance of the coming year
As suggested in my following earlier blog-email, it is possible to automate this entire process of computation of MSP, by using Geo-Spatial Technology :
Agri Reforms : an Ongoing Process…………………….[ 20 Nov 2021 ]
Using same technology, it is possible to also calculate ( automatically and without human intervention ), the MPQ for each of those 23 crops for the upcoming year
Both, the Government and the Farmers should be happy with such an AUTOMATIC – SCIENTIFIC – UNBIASED – TECHNOLOGY BASED – DYNAMIC process, which announces its results on a Govt website within a specific time - frame
This way, Govt will know in advance, the total amount of FUNDS that will be required for the coming season
And, knowing in advance, the MPQ / MSP for each crop, farmers will decide WHICH crop to plant and HOW MUCH to plant ( Demand / Supply / Price, dynamics in regulated manner )
On Govt web site, each purchase ( at MSP ) will be published ( individual and cumulative ) for each crop
This will show, how much total has been purchased ( for each crop ) and how much still remains to be purchased
When Govt purchase for an MSP crop reaches its stipulated MPQ ( for a given season / year ) , the Govt will stop buying and declare in all media
Irrespective of this provision, farmers will be free to negotiate with any trader / middleman / business , any SALE QUANTITY at any negotiated price ( whether higher or lower than published MSP )
Based on State-wise distribution ( of production ) of any particular crop, Central Government will work out State-wise QUOTAS of purchase quantities for each crop , as following formula :
Integration with two variables :
23
∬ ( msp_1 x mpq_1 = Funds needed for Crop 1 ) + ( msp_2 x mpq_2 = Funds needed for Crop 2 )
+………..( insert data for all 23 crops, one by one )
