&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On Friday, September 25, farmers&amp;rsquo; organisations across the country gave a call for a bandh to protest the three bills passed by Parliament. These bills, namely the Farmers&amp;rsquo; Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 (FPTC), the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 (FAPAFS), and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020 were passed amid protests by the Opposition parties, without discussion in Parliament. Even the government&amp;rsquo;s allies, such as the Shiromani Akali Dal, have raised apprehensions, lending their voice to the farmers&amp;rsquo; demands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Projected as historic reforms, the government promises freedom to the farmers from the &amp;ldquo;villainous and exploitative&amp;rdquo; Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) mandis and from the middlemen who charge commission from trade in these mandis. Most farmers would agree that the functioning of the mandis is inefficient, opaque, politicised and often controlled by cartels. The attempt to reform the functioning of the mandis is not new and has been in process for the last two decades, starting from 2001 when the expert committee on agricultural marketing submitted its report. Since then, three different model APMC acts have been proposed by previous governments (in 2003, 2007, and 2013) and in 2017 by the current government, none of which led to the kind of protests that have been witnessed over the last two weeks.&lt;/p&gt;

These bills, namely the Farmers&amp;rsquo; Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 (FPTC), the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 (FAPAFS), and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020 were passed amid protests by the Opposition parties, without discussion in Parliament.

Most farmers would agree that the functioning of the mandis is inefficient, opaque, politicised and often controlled by cartels. The attempt to reform the functioning of the mandis is not new and has been in process for the last two decades, starting from 2001 when the expert committee on agricultural marketing submitted its report. Since then, three different model APMC acts have been proposed by previous governments (in 2003, 2007, and 2013) and in 2017 by the current government, none of which led to the kind of protests that have been witnessed over the last two weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/harvest-of-distrust-farmers-protest-punjab-haryana-tamil-nadu-6612062/?fbclid=IwAR0Er2pnVCbcgm3t-awiLJFNxDdpithaDLTCpOczN-nVNim33pqFwY1f_s8&quot; title=&quot;https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/harvest-of-distrust-farmers-protest-punjab-haryana-tamil-nadu-6612062/?fbclid=IwAR0Er2pnVCbcgm3t-awiLJFNxDdpithaDLTCpOczN-nVNim33pqFwY1f_s8&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Farm bills are seen by farmers to deliver freedom --- not to them, but to private capital -Himanshu

-The Indian Express The fight to retain the APMC despite its shortcomings is also a fight to extract a commitment from the government on maintaining state support to the agricultural sector. On Friday, September 25, farmers’ organisations across the country gave a call for a bandh to protest the three bills passed by Parliament. These bills, namely the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 (FPTC), the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 (FAPAFS), and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020 were passed amid protests by the Opposition parties, without discussion in Parliament. Even the government’s allies, such as the Shiromani Akali Dal, have raised apprehensions, lending their voice to the farmers’ demands. Projected as historic reforms, the government promises freedom to the farmers from the “villainous and exploitative” Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) mandis and from the middlemen who charge commission from trade in these mandis. Most farmers would agree that the functioning of the mandis is inefficient, opaque, politicised and often controlled by cartels. The attempt to reform the functioning of the mandis is not new and has been in process for the last two decades, starting from 2001 when the expert committee on agricultural marketing submitted its report. Since then, three different model APMC acts have been proposed by previous governments (in 2003, 2007, and 2013) and in 2017 by the current government, none of which led to the kind of protests that have been witnessed over the last two weeks.
