No harm in incorporating companies. But are the farmers ready and strong/savvy enough to negotiate with these big corporations?
It would be better if government first helps the small farmers organise into cooperatives who have the resources and clout to negotiate with these behemoth companies and other traders in the mandis.
Else government is simply throwing away the most vulnerable of our population to the corporate wolves. Thank god for Punjab and Haryana where the farmers are better organised and resisting these draconian anti-farmer laws.
Adani,Ambani &other corporates had an eye on massive food grain market of India.They had few problems:
Problem 1 :
States had different rules ®ulations 2buy food grains frm farmers. It was difficult 4corporates 2handle so many states with so many different regulations &taxes
Modi Solution:
Took control from states and made 1 act for whole country. Corporates happy now.
Problem 2:
Corporates will buy crops and store them. But Essential Commodity act will stop them for storing crops for long time, as it increase prices in market.
Modi Solution:
Food crops will not come under Essential Commodity act and can be stored for longer period. Corporates again happy.
Problem 3
It was hard to determine that what type of crop will be grown by farmers.
A lot has been heard about the farm bills that were recently passed by the Rajya Sabha.
Here’s an attempt to understand WHY it is a matter of concern to the farmers, and WHY are they protesting.
Let’s first understand the bills:
(i) The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020
Acc. to this, the farmers can now sell their produce to non-regulated markets. This means, instead of the farmer having to go to a govt controlled Mandi, they can go directly to say a the buyer.
(ii) The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020:
A buyer & a farmer can have a contract in place much before the production even commences.
