We can see that supply this year is increasing by 32% on an average
(35% under optimistic scenario and 29% under pessimistic scenario),
so we won’t have to import pulses. Rather we will be having enough to export our pulses (even after taking population rise in consideration). If we don’t want to have export then we must reduce the price, so that demand could increase and supply could decrease. Similarly, if we don’t want to have imports then we must increase the price so that demand could decrease and supply could increase and we come to a market equilibrium. If MSP is the current equilibrium price, then we must change increase it by 2 %, if the government wants to create a buffer stock at 2% for future needs.
