To ensure that farmers receive fair prices for their produce, the government implements various schemes, including the Price Support Scheme (PSS) and the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS). These schemes are often implemented through the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), a key player in agricultural marketing.
