MOORTHY Members of the Tamizhaga Eri Mattrum Attru Pasana Vivasayigal Sangam staged a protest near the Collector’s Office in Tiruchi on Monday to draw the attention of the authorities to the steep fall in the procurement price of maize in the open market. Maize farmers in the region have been complaining over the crash in procurement price, well below the minimum support price (MSP) fixed by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). The CACP had fixed the MSP for maize at ₹2,400 a quintal for the 2025-26 kharif season. But farmers say that traders are quoting way below the MSP.
