Farmers' Fury: Nationwide Protest Against Flawed MSP

Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has criticized the new Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Kharif crops set by the Indian government for 2026-27. Alleging betrayal, SKM demands the implementation of Swaminathan Commission's recommendations and announces nationwide protests, citing significant financial losses for farmers due to current policies.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has condemned the Indian government's newly announced Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Kharif crops for the 2026-27 season, stating it falls short of farmers' demands.

SKM alleges that the MSP continues a '12-year betrayal' by not adhering to the Swaminathan Commission's higher-cost formula, urging farmers to protest nationwide.

The organization claims the current policy could result in a substantial financial loss, exacerbating existing agrarian distress amid rising input costs and insufficient procurement systems.
