Three farm Bills 2020:
1.The farmers produce Trade and commerce Act:
Key Benefits:
1.farmers can sell their produce anywhere in the country not only in the APMC s.
2.market fees will be abolished.
3.electronic trading can be set up.
Disadvantage:
1.Traders,commision agents and functionaries can organise into associations and reduce competiton.
So farmers are fearing that they may not reasonble price for their produce.
2.The farmers Agreement on price Assurance and farm services Act:
According to this act farmers can make agreement with the Traders and can fix the price before producing the crop
So now the farmer had agreement and best price for his produce and no need to depend on middle men for better prices.
Disadvantage:
If incase any dispute araises between the farmer and Trader the farmer is not strong enough to proceed legally.
3.The essential commodities Amendment act:
According this act the government will control prices in case of Drought or wars or if ther is a sudden increass in the price of a crop.
So farmers will get reasonable price for their produce.
MAIN REASONS FOR THE FEAR OF FARMERS:
In 1940s India faced severe drought because farmers had grown more crops like tobacco,cotton etc..so the farmers producing wheat,rice,pulses were decreased.
So the government had introduced MSP(Minimum support price) .
Msp is the price given by Government decided by calculating the investment made by farment to produce per quintol plus 50 percent of investment.
The government setup APMCs(Agricultural produce market commities ) in every state.
So the farmers can sell their produce at msp.
Farmers are fearing that if they are selling their produce to the companies slowly the demand for APMCS will be decreased and msp will also be removed.
Finally the farmers should sell their produce according to the price fixed by the companies as no option is available for them.
