What do you get under CM-ASSURE?
When the market price of a notified non-perishable crop (such as broom grass or areca nut) falls, the state buys it from small and marginal farmers at a fixed price that covers the cost of cultivation plus a small margin. Payment is by direct bank transfer.
The crop, price and quota are notified each time the scheme is triggered.
