About the Barley MSP
The Minimum Support Price for Barley (जौ) for marketing season 2026-27 is ₹2,150 per quintal, an increase of ₹170 (about 8.6%) over last year's ₹1,980. Barley is a Rabi crop, and its MSP was announced by the Cabinet in October 2025 on the recommendation of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP).
MSP protects you from a price crash: if the mandi rate falls below ₹2,150, government agencies buy Barley at MSP through notified procurement centres. To sell at MSP, register on your state procurement portal and bring your produce, land records, Aadhaar and bank details during the procurement window. Always compare with the live Barley mandi price first.
