Jogen Chowdhury asks a Question on effective procurement of agricultural produce

FULL TRANSCRIPT
Honourable Deputy Chairman Sir, as per the high-level Shanta Kumar Committee Report, that came out in 2015, less than 85.8 per cent of the agricultural households across India are actually able to sell their produce to the Government.
I would like to know from the Honourable Minister, what steps are the Government taking to ensure the process of procurement is being effectively implemented so that more and more agricultural households are able to sell their produce to the Government at minimum support price (MSP)?
