Great discussion Good panelists

[@buildconcepttmo]

15:21 and here starts the 1st step to market monopoly. panelist said middleman is not bad thing as they bring value to supply chain. same panelist must open his eye and see the telecom sector of today. He should also look to the mobile shop around his locality and compare their condition with 10 years before. online monopolization of a handful sellers and and the highly manipulatative rating and review system has brought those shopkeepers to their knees. thus you may see rise in balance sheet of corporates and subsequently in gdp but you will surely see the rise of unemployment and fall in human development index. Now as a leader you have to choose which way you will go........ good ranking in HDI, happiness index, less unemployment or merely the balance sheet and gdp graph. (note while writing i considered your possible counter argument that corporate also provide job but if you compare both you will surely understand how less that is)

[@nitinhugar9552]

Sir, I agree with your analogy of the telecom sector. But I'd like to point out that 83% of Indian farmer is small farmer, that's below 1ha. They are already suffering from a monopoly, it's just that monopoly is if different structure that's all. The middle men- money lending- trader nexus, is already running a monopolistic hold over the market. Decades of reforms are unable to break their hold, as they were the only source of procurement, money and input source. These laws are attempting to break the monopoly and provide you alternatives.

[@nitinhugar9552]

To add to the analogy sir, the shopkeepers disappeared due to improved banking services such as online banking....

[@buildconcepttmo]

@@nitinhugar9552 there was always alternative there. There is no law which prohibits farmer to sell anywhere they wish. Farmers are in a way entrepreneurs. They completely grow crop from scratch and then sell that. Corporate will inevitably bring contract farming and converting those farmers to a mere contract labour is the worst thing we can hope. Moreover if any dispute arises farmer can't sue those corporate (provision mentioned in farm bill).this adds salt to the injury. According to me the best solution is co operative farming. Though it is painstaking and humongous work to grow proper farm co operative fedaralism in every part of our country but if any one truly wants the condition of the farmers improve then they must take the initiative and fast track it.(Milk sector amul is the shining example of co operative )

Agricultural reform is the need of the hour while having huge agri dependent masses , govt has taken tremendous step in agriculture sector where farmer can sell their crops in different markets as per their choice, reform in essential commodity, all reform is in favour of farmer but somewhere miss conception related to msp and contract farming in the farmer community which they are doing protest against the government. i think we need to discuss with each Stakholder to find some right path which one suitable for farmers. i think we need to commercialise the agricultural sector as in western country are doing and they are doing well and earning well. farmer are steel piller of india,if strengthen farmer it will ultimately strengthen our country but need reform with changing time.

[@pratiush1000]

A good discussion, I also support the laws in-principle. However, the discussion didn't bring the local or grassroot informal economy of agriculture in the picture. So, the fear that MSP will lose and the Middleman will be removed by the law, the source of this fear is 'risk-averse' behavior of the farmer, particularly of Punjab and Haryana. Now, due to the lack of formal credit to the farmer (less than 5% small and marginal farmer gets formal credit), farmers are dependent on Middleman for the informal credit, Middleman leverage this dependence and buy the produce at the cheaper rate which makes the difference between 'farm and fork prices' huge in India. But, the farmer on the other gets assured informal credit, and get himself/herself trapped in the viscous cycle. Now, the fear is that in the absence of Middleman who will give this credit for agriculture inputs to the farmer? From farmer's point of view, it's a risky situation, the fear of losing the 'default'. Professor on the panel mentioned 'economics', I am sure he must have read the 'risk averse behavior of the farmer' in basic development economics book by Debraj Ray!

[@bhargavkodali8897]

I feel that this is a totally biased discussion. Some farmer group leader or agriculturist must have been there to balance the discussion. I do agree that the liberalization of agri sector is a good step and it came a bit late. These were at least 30 years late. at least the present govt. must have started deliberations from 2014 itself. However, I don't feel that the way in which they have been bought in is correct: 1. People might correct me but I'm not sure what was the last big reform which is bought in by following the path of passing an ordinance fist and then passing the bill in the parliament hastily ( even most of the labour laws were passed in after the scrutiny of PCs ). I'm surprised as to why the bills which would affect almost all the farmers directly or indirectly were bought in so hastily. 2. One of the panelist so insensitively commented that amendments must not be made on the street ( street is not the place to debate the laws in the first place ) and must be made after deliberate discussions in the parliament. What I fail to understand is if these laws were deliberately discussed in the parliament and with various stake holders, we would not have arrived into this situation in the first place. 3. Some of the amendments which government agreed to do are so basic and too important. I'm surprised as to why they were not thought of properly in the first place. Points like resolving issues with the SDMs, not allowing states to tax outside APMCs etc would have been corrected if these were referred to the parliamentary committee before passing the laws and all the stakeholders are consulted. 4. One of the panelists said that small and marginal farmers would be benefited by the corporates. I feel that it is actually the other way round. Bigger farmers would have more bargaining power with the corporates. I feel a framework must develop such that the farmers would have a chance to form cooperatives and deal with the corporates as a bigger entity. So the summary is that the laws are not bad as such. I think the government has not done a great job in gathering the confidence of farmers while passing these laws in the first place. Farmers of Punjab have been the drivers of green revolution. They would not shy away from driving through reforms as well. But please try to put yourself in the shoes of farmers. Too many changes are happening too fast. First the plans to do away with agri subsidies and fertilizer subsidies and now this. They would be genuinely worried. No farmer would consciously want to strike on the roads in the chilling winters of Delhi if there was no genuine pain. All they want now is to repeal the laws for time being and gain their confidence before passing them again. This time with proper consultation with all the stake holders at the least. Either the government should do that or convince the farmers for amendments. Anyways it would be good for the country if the impasse is dealt with as soon as possible.

[@baliramsatpute9467]

Gautam sir talking about the roads are not the place to discuss the laws but at the same time the winter session of the parliament is not going to happen, then when we should discuss the farm bills....

Agree with the panelists on MSP. BUT, please discuss the Cons also. The discussion cannot be just tend towards one side. How about weakening of APMCs, the issue of a less educated farmer looking at well structured Corporate "Terms and Conditions" and signing it without knowing what is in store for them, the issue of keeping 100% price rise for Perishable and 50% in non-perishable as trigger for Govt interference (why not 20 or 30%?- A common man will not be able to withstand 99% rise in price), Land rights Grab by corporate entities....

Mostly protestors are from Haryana and Punjab Because Govt has not built the mandis in other part of the country for procurement. So, farmers at other places are not getting MSP. So, its the Govt whos responsible for this discrimination btw farmers. Why they have not built the infrastructure in other parts of the country? How much is the budger allocation for the same?

[@satyajitchattopadhyayyt]

Mandis made by state govt. Educate yourself.

[@Anupamsingh9123-j7d]

Most farmers are from Haryana and Punjab because they think ( without reading the original bill) APMC are now removed. It's only Haryana and Punjab 's farmers who get benefits from msp. Do you ever asked a farmer from Orissa about his benefits from msp. No you can't because only 5-6% of farmers are getting benefits from msp, among which 80% are from Haryana and Punjab. Msp are not allowed on vegetables fruits flowers dairy , do you ever asked or fought for them. No , you can't fight for them . So please read the bill.

We have mandis in wb. Govt only buy few grains only. It is giving farmers another way to sell their products and that's optional too.

Special Discussion on MSP is required

[@457mm.stalinium]

While I agree with the intentions of these laws and how they're expanding the market for them farmers beyond the APMCs which is a good thing that farmers are getting more choices for selling out their produce to who-so-ever they may seem viable with added benifit of being able to sale anywhere around the nation; I'm still skeptical about these laws' implementation and the expected results because of the general mistrust of this present govt. which is one of the prime reasons of why the farmers are protesting, the controversial procedure followed in the RS Monsoon session to get this law passed raises some more questions and skepticism with regards to these laws. I support the intentions for a step ahead in the direction of us becoming a welfare state but I don't trust this govt. considering its implementation of other drastic steps at bringing reforms in the past. These topics must be debated with all the stakeholders (that includes Farmers too). The Govt. must have talks and clarify its intentions and the laws' ups and downs so as to put a peaceful solution for everyone. P.S.: I whole-heartedly support the farmers and their moral cause. Feel free to assume what party/ideology I'm siding with because I disregard all of them equally😊.

@aranjan mallick I didn't demonize corporates anywhere I think. They are the job givers in here so why would I do that. Also one of the reasons I'm here watching discussions is to not watch Dhruv Rathee or any of those people. Mistrust is surely in there with the farmers because if they trusted the govt. , there would've been a very small scale protest mainly from the opposition parties because you know how little our opposition is. No doubt everyone is trying to fulfill their own motives in here with these protests but so many people wouldn't be there if they had trust in this govt. I appreciate these reforms and the govt's daring to go with it risking its vote bank. I'm skeptical about its implementation tho. I'd welcome these reforms with open arms because why not?! We can only criticize/praise them for now and that is totally upto what kind of opinion one possesses. We'll wait for them to be implemented and then the results would certainly clear everyone's doubts up. I don't watch or side with any political ideology or inclination because honestly I think no one's that interested in valuing farmer's demands above their own benifits tho these reforms are welcomed since our policy makers I believe are independent of any political pressure but that is not completely true either. That's just my personal opinion and truth shall prevail after all. Thankyou for your thoughts on this tho🙌🏻🌹

Need to be first make Industry competitive and able to export Indian goods all over world and then start on farming sector ... not a single company who international competitive they only do business in india and regional and poor countries...

[@himanshujain136]

Agriculture is primary sector and if we focus on secondary sector first then economy would never rise. We did the same mistake during LPG reforms. We directly jumped from agriculture to services so now we are lacking in industry. So we should go sequentially. Now coming to mobile manufacturer we can never compete with other mobile companies unless we bring some innovation.👍

i don't agree that there are capitalist farmers, there may be, but what's the fraction of these rich farmers compare to the total number of farmers in India..? very less , may be less than even 1 percent, and what about the rest of 90 to 99 percent poor vulnerable farmers, whose job( agriculture) still depends upon vagaries of monsoon, where nothing is certain, one year they may expect good rainfall, surplus production but next year vice versa, with arrival of Globalization and consumerism, all other jobs like office works etc got benefitted , their employers PCI increased, but farmers income is still almost stagnant, how do they deal with the rising inflation ? why nobody is concerned about that. and other argument that these farmers reach to parliament, i don't agree at all, just see around you....the most poor section in village are those engaged in agriculture, this is a big joke saying that they rule parliament as MP /MLA , they have hardly any reach. and farmers are not only in Punjab and Haryana, in other states who engaged in agriculture practice are also called poor farmers, who neither got benefitted by Green revolution, nor influential

I found debate some how biased towards government there are some concern of farmers should be addressed by our honorable jury but they even not try to touch those point such as who will deal as the mediator because framers are not so well educated some formers may not even know to read and write Hindi also how you handle this situation. Second about we consumer as we have to pay for these good how government control inflation after this because they allow hording of goods until price is not so much high. there are some concern government should have to address them though reforms are good but they are lacking behind moral security of poor farmers as well as consumer
