Jaitley, on Thursday announced that the government has decided to keep the MSP for all hitherto unannounced crops of Kharif at least at one and half times of their production cost.
"This historic decision would prove an important step towards doubling the income of our farmers and NITI Aayog in consultation with central and state governments will put in place a foolproof mechanism so that farmers will get adequate price for their produce," Jaitley said while announcing Union Budget 2018-19.
