India’s ragi MSP: how it stacks against Tumakuru farm costs
A higher national MSP. Set against production costs in Sira and Madhugiri, the picture is tighter.
The Centre has raised the ragi MSP. For Tumakuru farmers, that only matters if procurement centres open on time.
Local cost sheets show fertiliser and labour have jumped in two years. Farmer unions say the MSP rise does not fully cover that.
The district also needs transparent weighing and godown space — not just a headline price.
