This will reduce disparity between States in procurement

The announcement of abrogation of farm laws can only be the initial success of farmers’ collective actions. Most of the farmers are out of the ambit of these laws. The Shanta Kumar Committee report in 2015 estimated that only 6 per cent of the farmers could sell their produce through government agencies. Furthermore, the procurement is extremely unequal across States.

During 2017-20, Punjab accounted for 37 per cent, Haryana 25 per cent, Madhya Pradesh 21 per cent and Uttar Pradesh 13 per cent of total wheat procurement. Similarly, Punjab accounted for 26 per cent and Haryana 9 per cent of total paddy procurement. West Bengal, which is one of the top States in rice production, accounts for only 4 per cent public paddy procurement.
