Since the time of these agri reforms, it has become convenient to blame Adhatia/middlemen/commission agents for every ill of farming.
NOTHING CAN BE FURTHER FROM TRUTH.
Middlemen exist because they serve a purpose. It deep rural communities, they are a single point source of 1/n

loans and advances, guidance and help. Yes, there are people who may exploit, but that doesn't make the entire system malafide. Where does a poor farmer get advance in emergency? The adhatia who knows him, his farm, his crop and his credit reliability.

The adhatias also are the farm produce aggregators, much like Amazon/Bookings etc. Large buyers place their order with adhatias. They are ones who buy from small farmers, sort pack and make it acceptable quantity for the buyer. How would you imagine a 2.5 acre farmer trying 3/n
to sell his produce.
Problem is Adhatias suffer from Sukhi Lala perception.
Readymade villains.
They have business interests hence not agitating.
Everybody from govt to journos are out to hang them without a hearing.
Don't be one of them.
Tell me who will replace their function?

Middle men bridge the gap. Why are no major property acquisitions done without a broker? Any large procurement? Any major deals? Because they serve a purpose. Adhatias do more than that. They also aggregate and sort/grade/pack/unload and pay.
