Farm Laws: Key Talking Points of the Centre's Proposed Dilutions

-TheWire.in

The Centre has promised to give a written assurance to farmers on the MSP regime, however farmer union leaders have questioned the current status of this system where some farmers get paid even below the MSP.

New Delhi: After several weeks of protests against the hastily passed agriculture laws, the Centre on Wednesday came up with a set of draft proposals, diluting some provisions of the laws. However, some farmer union leaders have expressed utter disappointment with the proposed amendments and decided to continue their agitation over the coming days.

Although the Centre has promised to give a written assurance to farmers on the minimum support price (MSP) regime, farmer union leaders have questioned the current status of this system where some farmers get paid even below the MSP.

The Centre’s farm laws had instilled fear among the farmers that the Agricultural Produce Market Committee mandis would be weakened and they will be stuck in a vicious circle of selling crops to private sellers or big corporate players. The Centre said the laws will ensure that new buyers enter the market and promote competition, which will help the farmers earn more money. Farmer unions did not agree with this narrative.
