Reply: There is no specific list of products subject to Market Intervention Scheme (MIS). All perishables are covered under MIS. A statement detailing specific perishables for which MIS operations were undertaken during 2006 2010, including the procurement price, states where the operations were carried out, procurement made and the cost of procurement has been placed at website www.agricoop.nic.in. MIS is implemented subject to a restriction of 10% of the anticipated production of the commodity for that particular year/season in the State. MIS intervention is decided on the request of specific States and implemented in only such States.
