10 Stemming the tide of agrarian distress Rather than just increased budgetary outlays, Farmers need plans that will rescue them from crop failure First important step Minimum support price (MSP)- by at least 50% above the cost of production Production cost, as calculated by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices based on three di erent methods, termed as A2, A2+FL, and C2. A2 covers all paid out expenses, including in cash and in kind, namely, cost on account of seeds, chemicals, hired labour, irrigation, fertilizers and fuel. A2+FL covers actual paid cost and unpaid family labour. C2 includes all actual expenses in cash and kind incurred in production and rent paid for leased land, imputed value of family labour plus interest paid In the last few years, the government has been giving MSP above 50% based on cost A2+FL, which is to be continued as per this Budget.
