Giving farmers options to sell is good, but why were Maharashtra farmers dumping produce, when Maha has deregulated veg fruits from APMC, why do Bihar farmers not realize fair price, when Bihar doesn't have a APMC act since 2006
Will contract farming ensure MSP/fair price

Why doesn't Center/State Govt take the onus to introduce farmer led FPO's in APMC mandis, is that not competition?
Why doesn't Center/State come up with a direct farmer to customer model, wherein seed money/infra/hand holding/logistics is done by involving farmers/farmer led FPOs

Processors/Exporters/Big buyers/Facilitators are Pvt entities, with 1 goal i.e. to maximize their profits, if Govts wants farmers to be in the game, then their position has to be strengthened, & the only way to do is to introduce them in the marketing chain+make them stakeholders
Last but not the least, there r apprehensions, that Govt will try to break the APMC markets, to run away from the Minimum Support Procurement being done from farmers. If this is the case, then it will open a new can of worms, which will b detrimental for all the parties involved.
