The Union Cabinet approved revised minimum support prices (MSPs) for rabi crops for the 2027-28 marketing season, with increases ranging from about 1% to 10.3%. The MSP for wheat was set at ₹2,610 per quintal (up from ₹2,585 in 2026-27), with other revised MSPs including barley ₹2,286, gram (chana) ₹5,958, lentil (masur) ₹7,390, mustard ₹6,613, and safflower ₹7,215 per quintal, according to an official statement cited in the report.
Why it matters
MSP changes affect the administered floor prices used for procurement and can influence farmers’ crop choices and incomes for the coming rabi season.
