Rural demand expected to get Rs 10,700-cr boost from bumper crops: Report

The agriculture ministry projects a good crop in the first advance estimates for the kharif season at over 150 million tonnes. Along with that, the government had also earlier increased the minimum support price (MSP) of all kharif crops by 1-5 per cent with tur, urad, groundnut, jowar and bajra getting the upper end of these new prices. The normal monsoons will also aid the farmers.
