This decision aims to provide economic support to farmers, ensuring remunerative prices for their produce and encouraging crop diversification.

The expected margin over the all-India weighted average cost of production is 109% for wheat, 93% for rapeseed &amp; mustard, 89% for lentil, 59% for gram, 58% for barley, and 50% for safflower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Governments_Broader_Agricultural_Strategy\"><\/span>Government&#8217;s Broader Agricultural Strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the MSP hikes, the government has approved a \u20b911,000 crore, six-year plan under the National Pulses Mission to boost pulses production.
