Can ‘one nation, one MSP’ improve economic condition of farmers?

Can the ‘one nation, one MSP’ system help improve the economic condition of farmers across the country? The issue has gained importance as different farmers’ unions protesting on the borders of Delhi for more than two months are demanding a law to guarantee MSP for various crops.
