&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The state of agricultural markets, the agricultural market policy and regulatory reforms in Punjab are reviewed in the context of the agrarian crisis. The farmer and farm worker manifesto of the Aam Aadmi Party is critically assessed. Policy mechanisms for agro-industrial development of the state are suggested. &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
There have been various attempts in the past to address the agrarian crisis mostly in the form of relief measures and some attempts at agricultural diversification by the state in the absence of any other institutions. But, the result has been only the perpetuation of the crisis. The much-needed agro-industrial development happens as a natural corollary of agricultural development, with some lag, as higher food/fibre demand and supply generated by agricultural prosperity and output growth respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, when a provincial economy is a part of a larger national economy which is increasingly globalising, the issue does not remain one of straightforward linearity between the two, that is, agricultural development and agro-industrial development, other than basic processing and value addition. In such a scenario, just having raw material supplies or local demand does not ensure agro-industrial development for the local regional economies such as Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This article reviews the state of agricultural markets, agricultural market policy and regulatory reforms followed by a critical assessment of the farmer and farm worker manifesto of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for its take on agriculture market development and reforms, and agro-industrialisation. Finally, it suggests a reorientation of strategy and mechanisms for bringing about the desired type and level of agro-market/industrial development in the state which is in tune with globalisation as well as the local needs and aspirations of the people of the state.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The state of agricultural markets, the agricultural market policy and regulatory reforms in Punjab are reviewed in the context of the agrarian crisis.

Addressing the Agrarian Crisis in Punjab: Role of Agro-markets and Policy Punjab -Sukhpal Singh

-Economic and Political Weekly The state of agricultural markets, the agricultural market policy and regulatory reforms in Punjab are reviewed in the context of the agrarian crisis. The farmer and farm worker manifesto of the Aam Aadmi Party is critically assessed. Policy mechanisms for agro-industrial development of the state are suggested.   There have been various attempts in the past to address the agrarian crisis mostly in the form of relief measures and some attempts at agricultural diversification by the state in the absence of any other institutions. But, the result has been only the perpetuation of the crisis. The much-needed agro-industrial development happens as a natural corollary of agricultural development, with some lag, as higher food/fibre demand and supply generated by agricultural prosperity and output growth respectively. But, when a provincial economy is a part of a larger national economy which is increasingly globalising, the issue does not remain one of straightforward linearity between the two, that is, agricultural development and agro-industrial development, other than basic processing and value addition. In such a scenario, just having raw material supplies or local demand does not ensure agro-industrial development for the local regional economies such as Punjab. This article reviews the state of agricultural markets, agricultural market policy and regulatory reforms followed by a critical assessment of the farmer and farm worker manifesto of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for its take on agriculture market development and reforms, and agro-industrialisation. Finally, it suggests a reorientation of strategy and mechanisms for bringing about the desired type and level of agro-market/industrial development in the state which is in tune with globalisation as well as the local needs and aspirations of the people of the state.
