Minimum price ceiling means the least price that could be paid for a good or service. It is the price fixed by the government for a good in the market. The government fixes the price on agricultural products and food grains in particular so that the farmers get their fair price of a commodity which otherwise actually can be sold with too low of a price.
Effects of price floor:
(i) Minimum Return: Farmers are ensured with the minimum returns as their products are completely sold in the market at comparatively higher price. This leads to an increase in their level of income.
(ii) Maximum Level of output: The government ensures to buy the full produce of the farmers which are not sold in the market at the price floor. Hence, they are able to produce the maximum level of output.
(iii) Burden on Government: It also puts extra burden on the government revenues. It becomes mandatory for the government to purchase the excess produce, even if it runs a sufficient volume of buffer stocks.
(iv) Higher Taxes: The government also tries to shift the burden (associated with purchasing the excess produce at higher price) to the consumers and the traders in form of higher taxes
