&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi:&lt;/em&gt; It rained all day as another session of the Kisan Sansad (farmers&amp;rsquo; parliament) was in progress.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Even a neem tree and a canopy couldn&amp;rsquo;t keep the Sansad venue from getting drenched. But this was no deterrent for those in attendance. The topic for the day was the Contract Farming Act. The &amp;lsquo;House&amp;rsquo; was full, and the &amp;lsquo;Sansad Well&amp;rsquo; was flooded with rainwater.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As it continued to rain, Swarnjeet Singh, a potato farmer from Punjab, began the discussion by saying, &amp;ldquo;PepsiCo is the perfect model for contract farming. They made us buy seeds and fertilisers when the market prices crashed. Then, Pepsi said my produce didn&amp;rsquo;t meet their grade. Everything was wasted, and I couldn&amp;rsquo;t even use my potatoes as seed. If contract farming comes to India in a big way, every farmer will suffer the same fate.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Corporate contracts from the time of the East India Company to PepsiCo have never been good for farmers. Many gathered there have personally suffered at the hands of sugar mill owners and big corporations and have been seeking justice for a long time. Most are reviled by the idea of contract farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In attendance was Sardar Amar Singh who wore a teal turban and had grey curly beard. He had a lifetime of experience in farming. &amp;ldquo;In 30 years, corporations will rule our land. They are trapping us in debt, exploiting our distress. If we don&amp;rsquo;t oppose this now, nothing will be left for us in the future.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Even a neem tree and a canopy couldn&amp;rsquo;t keep the Sansad venue from getting drenched. But this was no deterrent for those in attendance. The topic for the day was the Contract Farming Act. The &amp;lsquo;House&amp;rsquo; was full, and the &amp;lsquo;Sansad Well&amp;rsquo; was flooded with rainwater.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As it continued to rain, Swarnjeet Singh, a potato farmer from Punjab, began the discussion by saying, &amp;ldquo;PepsiCo is the perfect model for contract farming.

Amidst Rain, Kisan Sansad Takes on Contract Farming -Indra Shekhar Singh

-TheWire.in 'They made us buy seeds and fertilisers when the market prices crashed. Then, Pepsi said my produce didn’t meet their grade.' New Delhi: It rained all day as another session of the Kisan Sansad (farmers’ parliament) was in progress. Even a neem tree and a canopy couldn’t keep the Sansad venue from getting drenched. But this was no deterrent for those in attendance. The topic for the day was the Contract Farming Act. The ‘House’ was full, and the ‘Sansad Well’ was flooded with rainwater. As it continued to rain, Swarnjeet Singh, a potato farmer from Punjab, began the discussion by saying, “PepsiCo is the perfect model for contract farming. They made us buy seeds and fertilisers when the market prices crashed. Then, Pepsi said my produce didn’t meet their grade. Everything was wasted, and I couldn’t even use my potatoes as seed. If contract farming comes to India in a big way, every farmer will suffer the same fate.” Corporate contracts from the time of the East India Company to PepsiCo have never been good for farmers. Many gathered there have personally suffered at the hands of sugar mill owners and big corporations and have been seeking justice for a long time. Most are reviled by the idea of contract farming. In attendance was Sardar Amar Singh who wore a teal turban and had grey curly beard. He had a lifetime of experience in farming. “In 30 years, corporations will rule our land. They are trapping us in debt, exploiting our distress. If we don’t oppose this now, nothing will be left for us in the future.” Please click here to read more.
