Empowering Farmers - The new hope to boost up the economy

 The new farmer bill may act as a sanjeevni to debacled economy. Just like 1991 was remembered as watershed movement after dismantling License Raj and introducing FDI and FII. Our Agricutlure sector is controlled by Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC). Under this all the products have to be delivered in mandi first. No doubt APMC was introduced to protect the farmers, but now these mandis are transformed into local monopolies making it obsolete. Farmers have restricted buyers due to middleman with fixed buyers, pricing, contract farming and restricted investment. 


India from last decade has the vast production capacity but we know how farmers still being exploited instead of giving good supply to buyers. On other countrary farmers are being burdened with huge loans, where the money gone?

These major concerns is bringing farmers' produce trade and commerece bill, The Farmers' agreement on Price assurance and farms service bills, 2020 and the Essentials commodity Bill 2020. Initially it will be as complex as GST was during its introduction time. But Farmers will realise thier existance freedom from middlemen. Farmers can now directly contact the food processing industries, Farm Serivice provdiers, which may help in increasing more number of jobs.


Recently due to corona Crisis many workers have returned back to thier native place most of them planning to start farming and this bill will give them new light. It is a fact during Slowdown, Economy recovers through Agriculture sectors. India being the largest producer of milk and secondar largest producer of cereals, fruits, vegetables and fish, Still India's food market export sahre stands at 2.3% . The bill if introduced properly may bring our nation as the export powerhouse in the future
