2015 - Shantakumar Committee says only 6% farmers get MSP benefits.
2016 - NITI ayog says in 2016 that 81% farmers don't even know what MSP is.

Punjab & Haryana govt combined earning from APMC taxes @ 8% is nearly 2600 crore (1750 crore Punjab).
The new Farm bills cuts out APMC taxes and thereby making farmers to sell without paying mandi tax. This is a direct hit on state treasury.

APMC is how it is, MSP is how it is.
The new farm bills just give and option 2.0 to the farmers.

The contract farming being brought to the idea, there would be mention of minimum prices, duration and share in profit above what was decided in contract.

The increase in MSP remains low, farmers would be the last one to get affected from these bills.
Politics and Misinformation 🙏🏾

PS: MSP is just on 22 agri products.
'FEDERAL STRUCTURE' maybe an issue.
Union should start listening to states, federal failure leads to collapse of country's togetherness fibre.
