The government on Thursday raised minimum support prices (MSPs) of primary kharif crops for the 2012-13 crop marketing year by up to 53 per cent, leading to concern this could further raise food inflation.
“The government has accepted the suggestion made by the Commission for Agriculture Costs and Prices (CACP), which recommends MSPs after taking into account the cost of production,” Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.
