"To protect consumer intrest by providing essential agriculture commodities at reasonable rates by PDS"
Is this statement correct w.r.t objectives of Commission for agri cost and prices?
Does CACP get into essential commodities also?
It's official website doesn't say anything like this but a PYQ question marks this statement correct.
I haven't seen or couldn't find anything linking CACP and Essential Commodities as such.
Which PYQ is this?
@Usain_bolt Essential commodities are generally dealt by the Price Monitoring Division under Dept. of Economic Affairs, and the same is given on the website.

The wording could've been better though.
Usain_bolt,@Usain_bolt Maybe by "EssentialAgriculturalCommodities" they wanted to indicate MSP crops??
The wording could've been better though.
Mai bhi wahi socha but then they have emphasized the essential commodities part with 'PDS System '. Confusion wahi se hua.
Let me see, I will let you know if I come across something concrete on this.
CaptainPeralta,
Cannot find any reliable/updated compilation of mineral resources and their largest producer/s(in India as well as worldwide). Created my own list for quick revision from various sites but not sure of how accurate my drafted information is. Please have a look and point out if there is/are any incorrect info in this; would be of great help.
The red star indicates largest producer.

@Usain_bolt See the option 4....To ensure "maximum" price for farmers...well, if you read agricultural price policy carefully, they always write "remunerative" price. Because "maximum" price is too extreme. So I saw this and straightaway marked A.
Bhai I guess even if this argument is considered that doesn't make statement 3 correct. The purpose of going through PYQs is not just to arrive at the right answer.

Here I think essential commodities is used in the general sense not necessarily commodities under the Essential Commodities Act.
CaptainPeralta,
@D503 @mehuifs @Usain_bolt thanks, guys! Sometimes the scores rattle you. Even in Polity or History, sometimes they go so deep, and when I check PYQ, questions are moderate.
Hence, for now, done with mocks, ab keval revision.
@Steph_Curry This one's pretty good!

Bhai mocks have become a real mockery. No point in getting intimidated after that. Especially not you, you know how to qualify pre and you know what worked for you.
