AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
The government announces minimum support price, remunerative and procurement prices for important crops to check the exploitation of farmers by speculators and middlemen. This ensures that farmers receive a fair and remunerative price for their produce, protecting their interests and encouraging continued agricultural production.

The answer is directly lifted from the passage: "The government also announces minimum support price, remunerative and procurement prices for important crops to check the exploitation of farmers by speculators and middlemen." For 2 marks, state what the government does (announces MSP/procurement prices) and why (to protect farmers from exploitation by speculators and middlemen). No extra elaboration is needed.
