  4. D

Cevap

The correct statements are that Minimum Support Prices (MSP) are recommended by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), and Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) is the price sugar mills are legally required to pay sugarcane growers.
The Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) submits price recommendations for mandated crops, making the statement regarding CACP accurate. Additionally, sugarcane pricing is governed by the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) mechanism, which mills are statutory bound to pay to sugarcane farmers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the institutional mechanism for MSP recommendation.
Identify that the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) recommends MSP for mandated crops.
CACP is the specialized agency designated under the Ministry of Agriculture to determine price support recommendations.
2
Examine the pricing regime specific to sugarcane.
Confirm that sugarcane pricing is governed by the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP).
FRP is determined under the Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966, to protect growers from payment defaults by sugar mills.
3
Review WTO subsidy box definitions.
Recognize that Green Box subsidies are non-trade distorting.
Amber Box subsidies, not Green Box subsidies, represent trade-distorting support subject to de minimis limits and reduction targets.
