Farmers across the country have protested against these bills in streets and on roads. Punjab and Haryana farmer's tractor protest in July was opposition of these agriculture bills 2020.

What is Farm Bill 2020?

These bills are; Farmers Produce and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill 2020, Farmers Agreement (Empowerment and Protection) on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2020. These bills make big structural changes in agriculture sector. These bills also encourage corporate investments in agriculture ecosystem to make agriculture more profitable for farmers.
Benefits to Farmers from Farm Bill 2020:-
The Farm Bill 2020 envisages a path for farmers as an alternative platform to sell their produce in open market. Now farmers can sell their products openly to anyone and anywhere and they can get higher price. There will be no APMC market fee or cess on transactions in such trade areas. APMCs will continue its functioning. Now APMCs have to compete with these alternate platforms and now farmers have a choice for selling their products. This bill gives powers to farmers to sell their good directly to the corporate or exporter buying in bulk from the farm.
The Farm Bill 2020 does not annihilate current MSP based procurement of food grains. The MSP based procurement system will be continue and former can also sell their crop products in Mandi on existing MSP.
Why Farmers are protesting against Agriculture bill 2020 ?
Farmers are apprehensive of getting MSP for their produce as New Farm Bill 2020 opens the way for farmers to sell their produce in open market and fix price by themselves on mutual understanding of corporate and farmer. Farmers also fears that large retailers and corporates could dominate agriculture sector with money power. Farmers doubt that APMCs may become unavailable and have to shutdown in future if trade moves substantially to other alternate platforms. Farmers fear that mandies will become redundant like BSNL and MTNL in future days.
The Price Assurance Bill doesn't prescribe any mechanism for price fixation. Thus there is a apprehension in farmers that free hand given to private corporate houses could lead to farmer exploitation. The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Ordinance removes, pulses, oil seeds, edible oils, onion and potatoes from the essential commodities list. Thus the amendment deregulates the production, movement, storage and distribution of these food commodities.
