Agriculture market- perfect competition ( I thought such markets doesn’t exist, also even if MSPs announced prices differentiates)
Committees in economy- always get wrong

The basic feature of perfect competition is that there are too many sellers and too many buyers. So, in perfect competition, sellers (farmers) are price takers because they cannot control prices.
In Indian context, agriculture is not a business rather a matter of livelihood. So the government provides input subsidies (electricity, water, fertiliser etc). And later government announce MSP (minimum support price) to maintain reasonable price for agricultural produce.
Also, according to some economists, perfect competition in agriculture is a fallacy

Answer to first question is wrong agriculture cannot be a perfect competition due to underlying subsidies which are not equally distributed.
Eg MSP for rice but no MSP for fruits etc
