analytical reports on price policy for major crops\u00a0and support prices are declared by the government. The recommendations on price\u00a0usually\u00a0receive media attention but non-price recommendations, which are largely in the domain of reform process, are ignored. Due to\u00a0a\u00a0lack of political consensus, the government finds it difficult to implement non-price recommendations. So,\u00a0Minimum Support Price (MSP)\u00a0is used as an instrument to satisfy farmers.<\/p>\n<p>The declaration of higher MSP\u00a0may satisfy\u00a0critical voices for the time being, but in due course media attention shifts to some other pressing issue. As a result, higher MSP remains only a paper tiger. In 2018-19, kharif and rabi MSPs for several crops were substantially hiked and farmers of paddy did benefit due to procurement. In the case of cotton, the prices remained higher than the MSP due to global factors.<\/p>\n<div id=\"playstream_out\" class=\"playstream_out\">\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div id=\"ad_container\">\n<div><iframe src=\"https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/core\/bridge3.300.0_en.html#goog_1113103825\" width=\"373\" height=\"300\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ads-320-250 show-moblie mid-arti-ad\">\n<div id=\"Moneycontrol_Mobile_WAP\/MC_WAP_News\/MC_WAP_News_Internal_300x250_Middle_2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While farm leaders demand that all farmers should receive MSP, the organisations handling procurement at the national level (FCI, Nafed, SFAC) are not enthusiastic about bringing more commodities under the ambit of procurement. In the case of wheat and rice, the procured stock is distributed under the PDS at a hefty cost to the government. The economic cost of FCI for wheat and rice in 2019-20 is Rs 25.06 and Rs 36.02 per\u00a0kg, respectively, but the centre sells at Rs 2 and Rs 3 per kg. Thus, the Centre bears food subsidy of Rs 23.06 per\u00a0kg on wheat and Rs 33.02 per\u00a0kg on rice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"andbeyonddesk-3009\">\n<div id=\"andbeyond3009\" data-google-query-id=\"CN7Ol6nZiuICFQ-vjgodyVwL1A\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/21796214895\/32339-300-250-9_0__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/21796214895\/32339-300-250-9_0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/21796214895\/32339-300-250-9_0\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-google-container-id=\"2d\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"FL MR30 wd225\">\n<div class=\"brdr4 PR10\">\n<div class=\"interview_header\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"section-title\">\n<h2>RELATED NEWS<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"clearfix editor_list intvw_list text-left\">\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"Ohidden\"><a title=\"Week in 5 charts: Market ends flat amid Q4 earnings, election; rupee advances\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/markets\/week-in-5-charts-market-ends-flat-amid-q4-earnings-election-rupee-advances-3930621.html\">Week in 5 charts: Market ends flat amid Q4 earnings, election; rupee advances<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"CL\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"Ohidden\"><a title=\"Trade modifications to keep in mind ahead of Lok Sabha election results\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/markets\/trade-modifications-to-keep-in-mind-ahead-of-lok-sabha-election-results-3931361.html\">Trade modifications to keep in mind ahead of Lok Sabha election results<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"CL\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"Ohidden\"><a title=\"Market patterns suggest that 2019 could turn out to be a mirror image of 2009\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/markets\/market-patterns-suggest-that-2019-could-turn-out-to-be-a-mirror-image-of-2009-3931231.html\">Market patterns suggest that 2019 could turn out to be a mirror image of 2009<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"CL\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A\u00a0similar dispensation for pulses and oilseeds procured by agencies (mainly Nafed and SFAC) is not available, and the stock is being carried for several years. When such stocks are sold in the open market, the agencies incur losses, which are to be reimbursed by the central government. Nafed incurred a loss of Rs 748.5 crore for groundnut pods procured in Kharif 2013. For chana procured in rabi 2014, Nafed\u2019s loss was Rs 185 crore. By 2016, Nafed\u2019s losses had mounted to Rs 1,083 crore. It was only in March 2018 that the government facilitated settlement of Nafed\u2019s debt with banks.<\/p>\n<p>Nafed and other agencies are sitting over 35 lakh tonnes of pulses procured over the last three years. While this stock will be helpful in containing price rises\u00a0in case of deficient monsoons, a delay in the disposal of stock may impact the quality and will increase the economic cost. If losses on account of pulses and oilseeds procured in the last two years are not promptly reimbursed, Nafed may face a similar situation again.<\/p>\n<p>At the state level, procurement agencies are worse off. Most of them are ill-equipped to handle even wheat, paddy and rice which they have been procuring for decades. In most states, paddy procured is handed over to rice mills and they deliver the rice to agencies over a 6-8-month period. Very few state agencies have an adequate number of quality control professionals required for the maintenance of stock. In states where a large quantity of wheat or rice is procured, several employees have been punished\u00a0for quality deterioration, acceptance of the poor quality of rice, recycling, theft and fraud.<\/p>\n<p>The substantial increase in MSP of kharif and rabi crops in 2018-19 has to be examined in this context. Without any reference to demand and supply, and global prices, the government announced MSP by giving 50 percent return over the paid out cost incurred by farmers. Thus, the MSP of kharif crops of Jowar and Bajra was increased by 42 percent and 37 percent, respectively. MSP of Safflower, a rabi crop,\u00a0was increased by 20.6 percent but the market price is currently ruling at Rs 3,700-4,000 per quintal against the MSP of Rs 4,945. Any state agency procuring safflower at MSP would incur\u00a0a\u00a0huge loss.<\/p>\n<p>Further, when the government holds large stock, the private trade is scared as it fears\u00a0the government selling the stock at highly subsidised prices. The withdrawal of private trade further depresses the price in the open market.<\/p>\n<p>At the height of the farm crisis last year, the government announced\u00a0the Pradhan\u00a0Mantri\u00a0Annadata\u00a0Aay\u00a0Sanrakshan\u00a0Abhiyan (PM-AASHA) which\u00a0raised\u00a0false hope as if the government would be able to secure MSP for all the 24 crops \u20137 cereals, 5 pulses, 8 oilseeds, raw cotton, jute, copra and dehusked coconut. The scheme was to have three components\u2014Price Support Scheme (PSS), Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS) and Pilot of Private Procurement &amp; Stockist Scheme (PPPS).\u00a0PDPS and PPPS have remained only on paper and even PSS operations are limited to pulses and oilseeds, that too in some states only.<\/p>\n<p>Those who understand commodity operations knew that it is not possible for any government to procure all the produce at MSP.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the sugar industry which is required to pay the fair and remunerative price (fixed by the government), irrespective of the market price of sugar, is incurring huge losses\u00a0causing delayed\u00a0payment of sugarcane dues to farmers. This forces the government to come out with package after package for the sugar industry so that it can pay FRP to farmers. In the process, India produces excessive sugar and farmers in some states have to wait\u00a0for more than a year to get\u00a0paid. This is not all. India is facing some serious questioning in WTO for its policies on sugarcane.<\/p>\n<p>In the last two years, several states have experimented with direct income support (Rythubandhu in Telangana\u00a0and\u00a0Kalia in Odisha) which prompted the centre to implement PM-Kisan on the eve of elections. It is not yet settled whether direct transfers can replace MSP for all crops or it should be paid to those farmers whose crops are not procured by the government. It is accepted by everyone that it is much easier to administer direct income support than physically procure all crops at MSP.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0the\u00a0Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation Report of OECD (2015), China provided Xinjiang cotton farmers a direct subsidy of CNY 2,000 ($323) per tonne from 2014\/15. A pilot target price programme with a direct subsidy for\u00a0soybean<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>producers was introduced in 2014 in four northeast provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia.<\/p>\n<p>Since India is always in election mode, similar reforms in India would require broad political consensus, in the absence of which, MSP would continue to be offered as a lollipop without seriously meaning to deliver fair price and income to farmers. The task is cut out for the new government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Siraj Hussain\u00a0is a Visiting Senior Fellow at ICRIER.

Later, the Niti Aayog decided to rank these councils. Some meetings have been held and we are still working on the process,&#8221; a senior official told\u00a0<em>Moneycontrol<\/em>\u00a0on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<div>The government is evaluating the EPCs in a bid to increase their\u00a0share of Indian exports in the product markets\u00a0catered to\u00a0by these EPCs.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Discussions are also on on assigning mutually agreed upon targets to these EPCs and in case they fail to achieve them, they might face closure of have to be restructured,&#8221; the official said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Niti Aayog\u00a0 and the Commerce Ministry\u00a0are in discussions to evaluate the EPCs. After the completion of the process, the EPCs will be ranked as part of\u00a0an ongoing policy of developing indices and ranking on real-time basis.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Each council\u00a0promotes\u00a0a particular group of products or projects or services. The EPCs are funded by the government under the Market Access Initiative (MAI) and Marketing Development Assistance scheme to give support to export promotion.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The government spent Rs 270 crore in\u00a02018-19 on MAI and has\u00a0allotted Rs 300 crore for the current fiscal. Increase in export share of these councils, the extent of penetration into existing markets, and efforts to explore and enter new markets are some of the parameters\u00a0being considered for evaluation of the EPCs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"arttidate_pub\">First Published on May 6, 2019 04:35 pm<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\n<h3 class=\"tag_txt\"><span

Last week, Reserve Bank of India&#8217;s (RBI\u2019s)\u00a0Deputy Governor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rbi.org.in\/Scripts\/BS_SpeechesView.aspx?Id=1074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">B.P Kanungo<\/a>\u00a0addressed the issues in his remarks at the FEDAI (Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India)\u00a0annual conference in Beijing.\u00a0In 2015, then RBI governor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/economy\/finance\/capital-account-convertibility-inescapable-rbi\/articleshow\/47330301.cms\" rel=\"nofollow\">Raghuram Rajan<\/a>\u00a0had said that the central bank intends to move towards capital account convertibility. In 2006, then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh argued that there is merit in moving to fuller capital account convertibility and urged the central bank to come up with a roadmap. Consequently, RBI constituted a committee under the chairmanship of veteran central banker\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rbidocs.rbi.org.in\/rdocs\/PublicationReport\/Pdfs\/72250.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">S.S. Tarapore<\/a>,\u00a0who chaired the committee on capital account convertibility in 1997 as well. In a way, it is encouraging that\u00a0the policy establishment keeps reflecting on the issue, as foreign capital can help supplement domestic savings in achieving higher investments, which is necessary for sustaining higher growth.<\/p>\n<p>But the big question remains: is India ready for capital account convertibility?\u00a0The Tarapore committee defined capital account convertibility as \u201c\u2026 the freedom to convert local financial assets into foreign financial assets and vice versa. It is associated with changes of ownership in foreign\/domestic financial assets and liabilities and embodies the creation and liquidation of claims on, or by, the rest of the world. CAC can be, and is, coexistent with restrictions other than on external payments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While India has been gradually opening up the capital account, it is often argued that as it integrates with the global economy, India will need to fully open up. Opening up the capital account is an attractive proposition as it could bring more capital at a lower cost and help fund investments.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads-320-250 show-moblie mid-arti-ad\">\n<div id=\"Moneycontrol_Mobile_WAP\/MC_WAP_News\/MC_WAP_News_Internal_300x250_Middle_8\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, it is also important to note that free movement of capital has risks and India has done well to adopt a gradual approach. Over the years, financial crises in different parts of the world, such those in East Asia and Latin America has moulded the global view in this regard.\u00a0Notably, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/Publications\/Policy-Papers\/Issues\/2016\/12\/31\/The-Liberalization-and-Management-of-Capital-Flows-An-Institutional-View-PP4720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">International Monetary Fund<\/a>in 2012, for instance, said: \u201cLiberalization needs to be well planned, timed, and sequenced in order to ensure that its benefits outweigh the costs, as it could have significant domestic and multilateral effects\u2026There is, however, no presumption that full liberalization is an appropriate goal for all countries at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"FL MR10 MB20 wd285\">\n<div class=\"brdr4 PR10\">\n<div class=\"interview_header\">\n<div class=\"interview_title PB10 clearfix\">\n<div class=\"titles\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/elite\/profile\/rajesh-kumar-8261.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Rajesh Kumar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/economy\/to-plug-gst-evasion-government-may-soon-launch-e-invoice-provision-3918201.html\" alt=\"Rajesh Kumar\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"interviewee\">Rajesh Kumar<\/div>\n<div class=\"designation\">Associate Editor &#8211; Views|Moneycontrol<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"clearfix editor_list intvw_list text-left\">\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"Ohidden\"><a title=\"3926411Macro Management | Should India move to full capital account convertibility?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/economy\/macro-management-should-india-move-to-full-capital-account-convertibility-3926411.html\">Macro Management | Should India move to full capital account convertibility?<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"CL\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"Ohidden\"><a title=\"3907131Managing Macros | How can India contain the current account deficit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/economy\/managing-macros-how-can-india-contain-the-current-account-deficit-3907131.html\">Managing Macros | How can India contain the current account deficit<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"CL\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"Ohidden\"><a title=\"3880941Managing Macros | India in a better place now to tackle rising crude prices\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moneycontrol.com\/news\/business\/economy\/managing-macros-india-in-a-better-place-now-to-tackle-rising-crude-prices-3880941.html\">Managing Macros | India in a better place now to tackle rising crude prices<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"CL\"><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Similarly, the Tarapore committee had said: \u201cFCAC [full capital account convertibility] is not an end in itself, but should be treated only as a means to realise the potential of the economy to the maximum possible extent at the least cost.\u201d However, it further argued that the flow of foreign capital is imperative as India has huge investment needs.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is important to allow the kind of capital that will benefit the economy with minimal risk.\u00a0Kanungo highlighted the broad policy in the above-mentioned speech. The preference is to be given to flows in the real sector compared to the financial sector. Further, equity flows are more desirable than debt flows. In the equity segment, direct investment is better than portfolio flows. In the debt category,\u00a0long term debt flow, and debt denominated in rupee are better suited.\u00a0In terms of the further liberalisation of the capital account, India needs to reassess usual\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rbi.org.in\/Scripts\/BS_SpeechesView.aspx?Id=1074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">preconditions<\/a>,\u00a0such as \u201cprice stability, fiscal stability and stability of the financial institutions and markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads-320-250 show-moblie mid-arti-ad\">\n<div id=\"adspruce_node_2\" class=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>India runs one of the largest budget deficit among its peers and needs to significantly contain expenditure. Persistent large deficits are a\u00a0risk to financial stability.\u00a0In terms of price stability, while the inflation targeting framework is showing initial signs of success in containing inflationary expectations, it\u2019s too early to declare victory on the price front. Further, the financial system is not in a desirable state. Banks, particularly in the public sector, are saddled with bad debt. India also needs to deepen its financial markets to handle the unrestricted two-way flow of capital.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, India needs a lot of groundwork before fully opening up to foreign capital. Additionally, moving to full convertibility on the capital account would affect the RBI\u2019s ability to manage the exchange rate.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the risk for a developing country like India has increased due to the adoption of unconventional policies in advanced economies, which can result in higher inflows or a sudden stop, depending on the policy stance. In such a situation, India needs active management both to retain competitiveness and preserve financial stability.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Indian policymakers need to watchful. Although it is correct that India requires foreign capital to fund investments and maintain higher growth, it needs to be cautious while liberalising the capital account, especially for debt flows, as they tend to be more volatile and destabilising.\u00a0Differently put, India needs higher foreign direct investment to push growth, but it is not prepared to handle the unrestricted flow of debt capital.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"arttidate_pub\">First Published on May 3, 2019 11:00 am<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\n<h3 class=\"tag_txt\"><span
