Question 3

The Indian government significantly increases the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for paddy and wheat, aiming to ensure better income for farmers. From an agricultural economy perspective, which of the following is a likely *unintended* consequence of such a policy, particularly if sustained over several years?

Accepted Answer

A. A significant shift in cropping patterns towards paddy and wheat, potentially leading to monoculture and reduced crop diversification. — A substantial and sustained increase in MSP for specific crops like paddy and wheat often distorts cropping patterns by making these crops more profitable, leading farmers to prioritize them over others. This can result in reduced crop diversification and an oversupply of MSP-supported crops. Options B and D are incorrect as MSP generally increases procurement costs and the subsidy bill, while option C is unlikely as higher domestic prices can reduce export competitiveness.

Answer

B. A decrease in the overall cost of cultivation for farmers due to government procurement.

Answer

C. Enhanced export competitiveness of Indian agricultural products due to higher farmer income.

Answer

D. A significant reduction in the government's food subsidy bill due to market price stabilization.
