support price of grains

In  India  particular and in general  in all the  nations support  prices  of  food grains  are low in comparison to its  cost  of  production . In USA farmers  are  supported   through subsidy , but  in  other  countries subsidy  is  too  low . In India for  example cost  of  wheat  comes  around Rs 1500 per quental if we include labor  caste of farmer's family. Even without including it  cost  comes  to the level  of Rs  1300 per quntal . Thus farmers  are  getting less to  their cost , and this  is  why  they  are  becoming  poor  day  by  day.
                            The process of deciding support  price  is  faulty .The time will come when  farmers  will quit  agriculture . In India  news  are  coming  in good  numbers  where small and  marginal  farmers  have  left cultivation and they  are  doing  labor  in MNREGA . 
                              If this  goes on unchecked India and  the  whole  world is going to suffer  from  major  food  crisis .
