The Rabi and Kharif cropping seasons are India's two most important growing seasons. At the beginning of these Rabi and Kharif cropping seasons, the Central Government of India determines and announces the Minimum Support Price, or MSP, for the crops. The government carefully and thoroughly examines the main points made by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices before making this decision. At the point when ranchers develop crops, they bring about a few verifiable as well as express expenses. The certain or neglected costs incorporate the family work and the lease paid by the ranchers. The Minimum Support Price, or MSP, is calculated and established taking into account all of these costs. You can think about the variables A2, FL, and C2 when talking in terms that are more technical and calculative. These variables are taken into account by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, or CACP, in the following ways:

A2 - This covers everything farmers spend on buying chemicals, fertilizers, seeds, and hired labor for growing, producing, and maintaining food crops.

A2 + FL - This includes the implicit costs of family labor as well as the actual costs

C2 - This includes A2 + FL, as well as the fixed capital assets and farmers' rent

Alongside the above factors, a few other significant things considered by the Commission of Rural Expenses and Costs or CACP in concluding the Base Help Cost or MSP are as per the following:

1. Cost of cultivation per hectare and crop costs in other parts of the country to see how they compare and distinguish.

2. Cost of production per quintal, as well as comparable costs in other regions, in order to compare and examine differences.

3. Market prices for each and every crop in question, as well as any changes within them

4. Other costs associated with production and labor, as well as any adjustments to these costs.

5. The prices of any goods that farmers sell or buy, as well as any changes in these prices

6. Information regarding the product's supply. This includes the area, yield, production, imports, exports, domestic supply, availability of the product, and any stocks held by the government, industries, or other public agencies.

7. Information regarding the region's demand. This includes the processing industry's capacity, trends, and total and per capita consumption

8. Information about the global market's demand and supply, as well as the prices of products and any changes in those prices.

9. The prices of agricultural product derivatives like cotton yarn, sugar, jute, and jaggery. Oils, both edible and inedible, and many more

10. The costs of processing agricultural products and their fluctuation, costs for marketing, storage, transportation, taxes or fees, marketing services, etc., as well as changes in these costs
