Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices
The Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP) is an attached office of
the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India. It is
mandated to recommend minimum support prices (MSPs) to incentivize the
cultivators to adopt modern technology, and raise productivity and overall grain
production in line with the emerging demand patterns in the country. Assurance
of a remunerative and stable price environment is considered very important for
increasing agricultural production and productivity since the market place for
agricultural produce tends to be inherently unstable, which often inflict undue
losses on the growers, even when they adopt the best available technology
package and produce efficiently.
