# Prices of most Indian kharif crops rule above MSP as weather impacts production

> Prices for most of India’s kharif crops are above government minimum support prices, as drought during the southwest monsoon and untimely rain are expected to reduce yields. Market participants also report record prices for some crops, including rice and maize, while prices for some varieties of moong and bajra remain below MSP.

## Why it matters
