India's Supreme Court has agreed to examine a petition calling on the government to guarantee farmers at least the weighted average cost of production for their crops through a formal minimum support price (MSP) policy and mandatory procurement at that rate. The court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, issued a notice seeking the government's response, while also flagging the complexity of applying a uniform policy across farmers who own vastly different amounts of land. The case has significant implications for India's agricultural sector, where MSP guarantees have long been a central demand of farming communities across the country.
