#26)Which of the following is/are considered for calculating Minimum Support Price?

(1) Demand and supply

(2) Cost of production

(3) Inter-crop price parity

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a. 1 and 3 only

b. 2 only

c. 2 and 3 only

d. All the above

I guess C shall be the answer. 

No crct answer isD.

In formulating the recommendations in respect of the level of minimum support prices and other non-price measures, the Commission on Agriculture Costs and Price (CACP) takes into account the various Terms of Reference (ToR) given to it in 2009.

Accordingly, it analyses:

1)Demand and supply;

2)Cost of production;

3)Price trends in the market, both domestic and international;

4)Inter-crop price parity;

5)Terms of trade between agriculture and non agriculture; and

6)Likely implications of MSP on consumers of that product.

It may be noted that the cost of production is an essential factor that goes as an input in

the determination of MSP, but it is certainly not the only factor that determines MSP.

Good one with explanation
