&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eradication of the APMC-regulated mandi system and the entry of private players led the farming community to losing a favourable marketplace. Farmers were left with no option but to sell their produce to private procurers at throwaway prices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The nationwide protests against the three contentious Farm Laws enacted by the Centre has brought Bihar into focus. It is a state where new regulations for agricultural produce and its storage, sale and pricing have been in place since 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Bihar government repealed the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act fourteen years ago in the name of &amp;ldquo;reforms&amp;rdquo;, soon after Nitish Kumar assumed the office of chief minister in 2005. It resulted in the shutdown of the regulated wholesale market for agricultural produce (commonly known as mandis). It enabled private firms to buy agricultural commodities directly from farmers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Modi government argues that the new laws are in the interest of farmers, since they would apparently free from the clutches of middlemen and empower them to sell their crops outside the APMC mandis at competitive prices. However, the Bihar experiment does not support such claims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After the implementation of the much-touted &amp;lsquo;reforms&amp;rsquo;, the condition of farmers deteriorated instead of improving. Eradication of the APMC-regulated mandi system and the entry of private players led the farming community to losing a favourable marketplace. Farmers were left with no option but to sell their produce to private procurers at throwaway prices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Eradication of the APMC-regulated mandi system and the entry of private players led the farming community to losing a favourable marketplace. Farmers were left with no option but to sell their produce to private procurers at throwaway prices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The nationwide protests against the three contentious Farm Laws enacted by the Centre has brought Bihar into focus. It is a state where new regulations for agricultural produce and its storage, sale and pricing have been in place since 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Bihar government repealed the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act fourteen years ago in the name of &amp;ldquo;reforms&amp;rdquo;, soon after Nitish Kumar assumed the office of chief minister in 2005. It resulted in the shutdown of the regulated wholesale market for agricultural produce (commonly known as mandis). It enabled private firms to buy agricultural commodities directly from farmers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Modi government argues that the new laws are in the interest of farmers, since they would apparently free from the clutches of middlemen and empower them to sell their crops outside the APMC mandis at competitive prices. However, the Bihar experiment does not support such claims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After the implementation of the much-touted &amp;lsquo;reforms&amp;rsquo;, the condition of farmers deteriorated instead of improving. Eradication of the APMC-regulated mandi system and the entry of private players led the farming community to losing a favourable marketplace. Farmers were left with no option but to sell their produce to private procurers at throwaway prices.&lt;/p&gt;

Farm Laws: How Bihar’s Peasantry was Pushed to the Brink after APMCs were Scrapped -Tarique Anwar

-Newsclick.in Eradication of the APMC-regulated mandi system and the entry of private players led the farming community to losing a favourable marketplace. Farmers were left with no option but to sell their produce to private procurers at throwaway prices. New Delhi: The nationwide protests against the three contentious Farm Laws enacted by the Centre has brought Bihar into focus. It is a state where new regulations for agricultural produce and its storage, sale and pricing have been in place since 2006. The Bihar government repealed the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act fourteen years ago in the name of “reforms”, soon after Nitish Kumar assumed the office of chief minister in 2005. It resulted in the shutdown of the regulated wholesale market for agricultural produce (commonly known as mandis). It enabled private firms to buy agricultural commodities directly from farmers. The Modi government argues that the new laws are in the interest of farmers, since they would apparently free from the clutches of middlemen and empower them to sell their crops outside the APMC mandis at competitive prices. However, the Bihar experiment does not support such claims. After the implementation of the much-touted ‘reforms’, the condition of farmers deteriorated instead of improving.
