For the people who still don’t understand “why farmers are protesting the bill?”.
Here are the reasons.
1) MSP is not mentioned in the bill, they are only verbally saying its there, we all know how that works.

Without MSP (or minimum support price) specifically mentioned in the bill private companies can stop purchasing crops at MSP anytime they want and small time farmers can hardly go into legal battles with big corps.
2) removal of stock limit and allowing of bulk purchase and storage through the change in the Essential Commodities Act could bring large corporate players into the agriculture space. they could also skew the playing field, with small farmers can’t match them in bargaining power.
for the people who think MSP will cause inflation of prices here is your clarification.
MSP is minimum support price provided for farmers,
to prevent inflation we had an essential commodities bill.
Onions price got jacked because it got removed from essential commodities bill.

Other reasons also involve the fact that the new bill will weaken the existing APMC system that provides huge revenue for states, for example last year alone Punjab made 3500 crores in revenue through those sales.
