How can u compare farming and Industry and deregulation? This is foolishness! When u compare, please compare the comparables.[aap to Article 14 ki violation kar rhe ho start krte hi] Free competion is good in factories and Industries; in farming u need to save him from explotation, along with free trade, regulation should be priority in India, 🙏🏻 Read section 6, section 11 of PRICE ASSURANCE ACT! THere is no regulation on the buyers(corpoaates, who are given freedom) and Farmers(who in Punjab had freedom to sell in any APMC MANDI within State ) will be exploited! Aa jaate hain bina bills ko parhe JHOOTH KA GYAAN dene. MSP hone se nhi DENE ki baat hai, MADI CHAALU HAI, aao mandi mein? We are asking for our Rights! Give us Right to get benchmark Prices! This is our demand. These bills don’t seem to be drafted by experienced IAS officers, but by CORPORATE LAWYERS. The wording of the bills favour the exploters! Moreover name and objectives are ironical and misleading with respect to the provisions of the act. JUST LIKE ‘SABKA SATH SABKA VIKAS SABKA WISHWAS’, where they forgot the meaning of SABKA; have u taken us Farmers in confidence before passing ordinance, NHI LIYA, so stop using above slogan coz it is fake slogan like Indra Gandhi’s Gareebi hatao! Eh jalam sarkaaran kad tak sada naash kardiya rehngia, kad tak asin ashi jawange? Coming to misleading bills and this video- Quality check ke nam pe soshan kon dekhega?? Farmers have to cross such hurdles there, not the journalists like u. So talk of our rights, dont repeat false rhetoric that gov is repeating! The farm produce price can be changed as per the contractor company at time of sale as it is subject to fluctuations. And u say it will help farmers. We already have bitter experiences of Lays factory and potatoes in sangrur and wine factory and jeon farmers. Please donot teach us. We are not old-age’s farmers, we are graduates now, if we are not graduates, our daughters and sons are graduates. Even if they are less literate, we have hard experienced in Punjab. Donot teach us. If u come to Punjab to teach us, we will WELCOME YOU and you will be taught about reality in fields and mandis🙏🏻 Thank you for misleading in the video Now MSP, arey bhai woh toh abhi bhi hai, kya humari sari faslein uthhate ho MSP pe? We should be given RIGHT TO SELL AT BENCHMARK PRICE, MSP here. Kisaan ko rulaoge aur anaj bhi khaoge Jai Kisan Jai jawan Kisani EKTA ZINDABAD!💪🏼

Second- They are farmers but they have to pay some fees or bribe to some of middlemen to sell their stuff like "you give me 10000 rupees and you can sell under my name in the city". Third - Some farmers have connections in mandis or are family members of some important people in mandis so they can just use second national currency called " mera chacha *insert any important position here* hai " and can get away with doing whatever they want.

[@omkumar185]

@@satishboda mostly what bhavya said is the ground reality. And what you saw are small rickshaws, that is a small fraction of what the entire produce of a farmer is. To bring such small installments from village to city the fuel cost and the rickshaws rent cuts into the profit. If a farmer is to load the entire produce into a truck and bring it to the city then he has to take it straight to the mandi /apmc market. If it is caught roaming around anywhere else in the city hefty fines are imposed. Even with the rickshaws if you have observed they run away if they spot a traffic police.

Shekhar has defended the 3 bills with total commitment and conviction. These reforms were long pending and it is good that Modi undertook them, even if under the covid crisis. We can now say that a new age for Indian agriculture has finally begun and in next 10 years, we will see big changes in rural areas.

[@sidhuRaj92]

changes will be bad. Small farmers have very less resources to bargain with private buyers. For first 2-3 years private buyers may give high price and farmers may left Madies to sell outside, In this way Mandies will be abandoned and will stop to exist. Once no Mandies to sell and FCI reluctant to buy, farmers will have to sell to private players at lower than MSP. So these bills basically destroy the mechanism of giving MSP to farmers by rendering Mandies and FCI non-functional in long run. There are serious flaws in contract farming as small kisan can't fight cases against MNCs as majority times MNC pay less on the agreed price due to the clause of quality. With no limits under ECA Big hoarders can now play their games to manipulate market prices through cartelisation thus earning huge profits. Why protest in Punjab and Haryana mostly? because In punjab and Haryana only farmers get assured MSP through APMC and FCI procurement...other state governments have failed to provide MSP to their farmers so those who are not getting MSP why would they protest. Only way to calm these protest is that government should give in writing that FCI will continue to buy from farmers at MSP for every season. Otherwise this will ruin economy of Punjab and haryana as GST and demonetisation had ruined. Government say farmer will have choice to sell anywhere but being a perishable good and gult at harvesting season farmer will not get remunerative prices for sure in absence of APMC and FCI Procurement. Private traders will only like to buy at lower price as possible by cartelisation. Please reform APMC don't destroy it, don't play with lives of farmers, we all know a farmer can grow foodgrains but don't have know-how and resources to market it through bargain so it is very essential to provide him marketing support system where he/she is not exploited.

The uncontrolled Food & Agricultural market was misused by notorious manipulators, hoarding goods & creating artificial price rise. The price wars on onion, tomato etc has been happening for so many years. The British used food & famine as a weapon for Evangelization, recruitment for indentured slave labor and army recruitment. A digital supply chain and BIGData Analytical tools will resolve most of the monetary issues faced by farmers. All developed countries including China has a Global Supply Chain nepofindia.blogspot.com

[@narayankarandikar6926]

@@sidhuRaj92 The apprehension raised about FCI not buying at MSP is completely unfounded. FCI is mandated to keep a certain minimum stock for various agri commodities throughout the year. So FCI will always be in the market for all practical purposes as the single largest buyer. In free-market conditions the largest buyer has a very significant impact on the market price. And since FCI shall not buy at any price lower than the MSP, the MSP will de-facto becomes the market price which will keep hovering between a narrow +/- range of MSP depending upon the actual demand-supply. So any unscrupulous price manipulation by private buyers can only happen if they have the buying power of FCI which no single private trader has. So to prevent such possible price manipulation the role of Competitive Commission of India needs to be strengthened and CCI has to gear up its vigilance.

[@CHIEFytPubg]

As a son of a farmer, you should try to educate yourself. Also, Start asking questions to the govt and not to other parties who have been out of power for years now. The media is anyway asking questions to them. Now the answer to your question, Farmer suicide rates aren't high in areas of Punjab, Haryana. They are high in states like Maharashtra, tamil nadu, Bihar etc. If you look at stats, 96 percent farmers outside punjab and haryana are dealing with private buyers and hence, Aren't getting the desired pay for their produce. Also, there are certain issues with the APMC's but eradicating it in favor of a complete monopoly threatened bill isnt the solution. As the son of a farmer, you must know it better than me.

Half the farmers seem to just go with whatever some leader or the other is saying instead of understanding the bills and repercussions themselves. Reminds me of the time when private companies and privatisation was first introduced and public companies made such a hue and cry about it - just because they would face stiff competition now. Their life would no longer be laid back. Vested interests are fuelling the protests.

The farmers would have occured a heavy loss due to the law and only after the protest did the govt agree to purchase that paddy

Which is actually good. Not for the farmers, but for the govt. the government has triple buffer stock in wheat and other commodities. It is rotten away by years to come.

[@upscaspirants6435]

Thank you so much wholeheartedly!!! 1) The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce Ordinance just says that all types of agri trade will be allowed (even outside state regulated) APMC mandis. So, now anyone can trade within the State or across the state all over India and it can be physical trade or online trade. And the most important thing is if Vivek opens a mandi/market for trade of agri commodities (ether i am procuring from farmers and selling it to retailers in my physical mandi or I opened an online portal just like amazon) anywhere in India then NO STATE CAN PUT ANY KIND OF TAX/CHARGES ON AGRI TRANSACTIONS. 2. But if trade happens through State APMC mandis then there are various charges. For example commission agents (arhatiyas) get 2.5%, State Govt imposes mandi charges and cess which gives them Revenue BUT all these charges get built in the price and ultimately the 135 crore consumers suffer in terms of higher prices. So, if the trade move out of these APMC Mandis (till 5th June no one was allowed to trade outside APMC), then who is at LOSS???. Answer: The commission agents (intermediaries) and the State Govt and its corrupt officials. And who will gain..........135 crore consumers of India. And there is no direct impact on farmers but in future they will gain because of several mandis and buyers. And direct procurement from farmers may end up giving more money to farmers for their produce. BUT THEY WHY FARMERS ARE PROTESTING???? Answer is they are being lured into protest. Big farmers of Punjab and Haryana who sell at MSP to FCI in these mandis are thinking (and are forced to think by politicians) that in future Govt. may stop procuring at MSP (but the ordinance does not say this at all) of wheat and Rice and if prices fluctuates on lower side then they may loose because then they have to sell to private traders. BUT why not the other farmers of India are protesting. The Answer is....................MSP is announced for all over India for 25 crops but SINCE 1965........(when FCI got established).............FCI HAS PROCURED ONLY WHEAT AND RICE AND MAINLY FROM THESE TWO STATES PUNJAB AND HARYANA (and to a certain level from MP, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh also). BUT mostly Punjab and Haryana farmers, traders, commission agents, govt has benefitted till now. And who has lost...........135 crore Indians, All other state's farmers. 3) Actually in the last 50 years of this REGULATED agri trade has benefitted the corrupt intermediaries and officials/politicians and they dont want this system to be reformed. Govt should stop procuring at MSP and it should stop giving PDS foodgrains. And just transfer the same benefit in to their account. Everyone will benefit except these agents/corrupt FCI officials/politicians.

The assumption behind freeing the farmer from the clutches of nexus, is that freedom to trade, allowing hoarding and contract farming will enable better price discovery, which is doubtful or flawed. But what SG forgets is that the new middleman will be the big corporations which will setup new clutches for the farmer. So its not a watershed moment of reform, rather a watershed moment of transfer of colonization from nexus of buyers, traders and consumers to nexus of big corporations. Farmers will never be able to free themselves. But if this will not save the agriculture sector, nothing else will. This will only push more people out of agriculture in long run and help formalize our economic structure like the rest of the world. Ugly but true way to detox the agri sector. The intent of the government is right.

okay sir, you talked about MSP let me tell you a scenario of sale of maize this season. The MSP of Maize is 1850rs per quintal so farmers should be able to sell their produce at 1850rs but no they weren't able to do so and sold at around 800-1000rs per quintal because no one buys at MSP. same happens with moong, urad, cotton and other crops. the only we as farmers want is to be able to sell our crops atleast on MSP. Modi govt's bill only need to add this one clause that if anyone buys from farmers below MSP there will be severe consequences, so that it can ensured that a farmers' life isn't left at the plight of corporations. Another thing you talked about is that a farmer can't sell beyond his area's mandi, well he can a lot of farmers of punjab sell the basmati rice crop at mandis in haryana. so mandi freedom is already there. Another one is about contract farming issues suppose a company refuses to pay a farmer the price as per the contract then why the powers are being taken away from farmers to file a case against the company & let a judge make a decision? why a farmers shouldn't be able to fight for hi rights in the court? why is it that only SDM or DC can hear the appeal of farmers and farmers can't go in the court? if anyone be it a trader or corporation want to buy from us our produce they should definitely be able to do it. but we want an assurance that they won't buy below MSP. (regarding that rs5000 crore that state govt spend to provide free electricity to farmers that is a blessing for farmers because otherwise electricity bills alone would be so much more than the profit that a farmer can possibly earn.)

Thank you for educating us on the salient features of the three bills. Very informative and unbiased. For a critic of Modi government to praise the bills shows your objectivity.

[@baldevsidhu3811]

There is one pitfall which has not been addressed. When a big company enters into an agreement with small entity, the company dictates the terms. The small entity ends up being exploited. Perhaps enough has not been done to safeguard the interests of farmer .

[@ramananvenkataraman4594]

No it is the other way around, no way a court will favour the corporate , however justified it may be, it is not in our DNA. When a cyclist has an accident involving a car, only the car driver will be called to question by our people , even though the cyclist would have driven without any sense of responsibility.

I never understood how an agrarian state like Punjab is so rich. Now I do. The farming laws were working to their advantage. Their farmers burn stubbles, grow crops 3 times an year to sell to government of India. Their rich kids use the money to smoke weed

[@kundanthakurfiem]

States like Bihar ,east up,jharkhand,chattisgarh have always been deprived of the benefits of MSP regime.only the states like Punjab,haryana ,west up have cornered the benefit of MSP policy of the govt.This is a major cause of regional development imbalance in India.

[@onthefence5247]

kundan thakur Exactly. These imbalances manifest in many ways. Like, do you really need so much rice production. Once the economic incentive is removed I hope the Punjab farmers will grow different varieties of produce which is also environmentally better (less water consuming crops unlike rice).

[@milkhoney694]

Punjab become cancer belt duo to green revolution .you should compare this also with other states .

[@NavJosan10]

People from Punjab migrated to UK ,US in 19th century. This is one of the major reason of prosperity in Punjab. At Approx one member of a family is either in Gulf region or in canada or states. It's better to have thorough knowledge before commenting some bullshit. Moreover, drugs is a global issue. It's just that we Punjabi raise our concern over this issue unlike rest of india, who just love to be oppressed.

Indian farming industry will be in deep trouble soon, if we are not waking up now. I am sharing my observations, but political parties and scientist should come together to find solutions with possible reforms. I am from a small village, by taking my village as an example I will try to explain. 1. When I was child, farmers used to be from all the age groups but now 90% of the farmers are above 40 years. Next generation is not interested in farming industry due to losses and instability in prices. What next? From where do we get Food? 2. When I was child, our village used to export milk. But now we are buying milk from nearby cities. Now less than 100 dairy animals in our village (Due to age, farmers are unable to maintain these animals). What next? From where do we get milk? 3. Tomato, onion and other vegetable prices are less than INR 5 /kg in our village, on the same day it will be more than INR 50 in Delhi. Sometimes farmers are not even harvesting their products to avoid losses (labor cost to harvest is higher than the selling cost). 4. We have farm labor shortage; this is so expensive that we sometimes invest more than 60% on this. These are only few examples. Due to heavy losses, there are many farmer suicides in southern and central states. Farmer needs reforms and support from governments especially, 1. Easy and inexpensive transport of farm products from any place to any place has to be provided, without state restrictions. 2. Proper storage facilities are required. 3. So many like this. If farming is not made profitable, nobody will take it as a profession results in the scarcity in food. Hope all parties will come together to find a solution soon.

[@chinnasurvi]

Thanks for simplifying sir. As we know farming constitutes higher percentage of India’s GDP, prospect of better GDP incoming years. Both consumers and farmers are the beneficiaries of this law. Hopefully we get to see farmers livelihood changes in times to come.
