Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) is a component of PM-AASHA scheme. Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) is implemented on the request of State/UT Government for procurement of various perishable agricultural/horticultural commodities such as tomato, onion and potato etc. for which Minimum Support Price (MSP) is not applicable and there is a reduction of at least 10% in the market prices in the States/UTs as compared to the rates of the previous normal season, so that farmers are not forced to sell their produce under distress.
To encourage more States for implementation of MIS, Government has revised the MIS Guidelines in the following provisions:
- Made MIS a component of the integrated scheme of PM-AASHA.
- MIS will be implemented only when there is a minimum reduction of 10% in the prevailing market price as compared to the previous normal year.
- The procurement/coverage limit of production quantity of crops has been increased from the existing 20 percent to 25 percent.
