State government recommends MSP for Totapuri mangoes, awaits Centre’s nod
Farmers in Karnataka are protesting for a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Totapuri mangoes following significant crop losses due to extreme weather. The state government has submitted a proposal to the Union government to set an MSP to help farmers recover from financial distress.
Why it matters
Establishing an MSP is critical for the economic survival of mango growers in the Kolar region who face volatile market prices and climate-induced crop failure.
Following a bandh and protest in Srinivaspura, Malur, Kolar and surrounding areas by mango growing farmers on Monday, the Karnataka State Mango Development and Marketing Corporation Limited (KSMDMCL) and Deputy Commissioner of Kolar District have written to the State government proposing to provide a Minimum Support Price (MSP) to Totapuri mangoes.
