The rate is determined by Market Yards only (In directly by the local Politicians and his chamcha's or gundey's) . Farmers can not sell out side Yards or directly to traders or out siders ...this was the one of the reason we had a concept of Raithu Bazaar (now it is run by same goons who decide the rates) 

Currently, MSP is applicable for these crops only

seven cereals -- paddy, wheat, maize, sorghum, pearl millet, barley and ragi

five pulses - gram, tur, moong, urad, lentil

seven oilseeds - groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, soyabean, sesamum, sunflower, safflower, nigerseed

four commercial crops - copra, sugarcane, raw cotton and raw jute , De-husked coconut, Virginia flu cured (VFC) tobacco

 

That's why we see huge disco's every year.

Free trade okka impact ide, repu rice and wheat kuda ide partisiti untadi.

Already Bihar la 800/quintal rice compared to 1850 paid in Punjab, AP and Telangana mandis.

how does it work?

The government uses the produce procured to do two things: it distributes a portion of the stock through the PDS/other welfare schemes and retains a portion as “buffer stock” or strategic reserves. 
 

This buffer stock is super important - it  acts as insurance against a food scarcity event, but it also acts as a price regulation tool. When prices in the market spike, the government releases a portion of these surplus stocks to bump up supply and bring down price. 

The very existence of the surplus protects us from hoarding - no one wants to hoard when they know the govt can always flood the market and control price. 
 

Second, they used to impose stock limits under the essential commodities act. If prices spiralled, they could order everyone to sell any stock over a set limit into the open market. The increase in supply would then reduce price. 

Now what do the farm bills do to this system? 

First, they restrict the ability of the government to impose stock limits under the ECA to extreme situations, and also exempts what are called  value chain participants entirely from these limits.
 

Who are value chain participants? Well, it’s a broad definition and includes any private player involved in processing distribution etc.
 

What does this mean? Well, it means that the essential commodities act can’t really be used anymore to effectively control food price.

Ok, but we still have procurement, and the buffer stocks to control price? Well, it’s complicated.
 

This now starts to get a bit scary. The reduction in surplus stocks will reduce the governments ability to control market price by releasing stocks. 
 

People like Adnani are building huge warehouses in Haryana and Gujarat to hoard supplies to control the prices which will be eventually a bummer to the customers.

Free market everyone , happens every year twice because the market cannot literally absorb enough tomatoes  due to excess production . 

Private players will not build storage facilities because there isn't much profit in it . 

If MSP system is totally abolished rice would also be selling at low price during harvest season

America lo soya bean and corn paina study cheyi okkasari. 
government gives billions of dollars to farmers to not to Sow in case there is a forecast of excess production mana daggara aa apparatus ledu unna strengthen cheyaniki evvadu try cheyaru government ki bokka ani

 

One Solution is food processing for perishable produce. Mana daggara both consumers and industry ee concept ledu.. secondly educating the farmers on the forecast

No , It's a really complex problem  . It will take a combination of

developing varieties that can produce in off season  - needs central government investment 

planned plantation so that excess production will not occur at a single time . Needs State government intervention 

Reducing the cost of transportation for food , disel tax is too high .

Promotion of processing units(sauce/canned /dried tomato)  + contract farming . These are not viable by private sector without support from center + state government 

Most important of all forming a farm association so that they have some bargaining power in dealing with trader mafia

excess supply ah? what's the reason?

last year ee time ki kilo onion 100 rs unde

They also have daily milk limits on dairy farms , any excess production will not be sold out in the market . It is usually thrown out
