&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Farmers in poll-bound Bihar are seeking mandis &amp;#39;like in Punjab and Haryana&amp;#39;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Begusarai, Khagaria: &lt;/em&gt;In 2006, Nitish Kumar&amp;rsquo;s government showed the way by repealing Bihar&amp;rsquo;s Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) Act and allowing crops to be freely traded outside the state&amp;rsquo;s regulated mandis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But 14 years on &amp;ndash; when the Narendra Modi government at the Centre has enacted a law dismantling the monopoly of APMC mandis all over India and Nitish Kumar is seeking a fourth full term as chief minister &amp;ndash; farmers in Bihar aren&amp;rsquo;t impressed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hamein yahan sarkari mandi aur MSP par khareed dono chahiye (We want both APMC and MSP-based procurement here),&amp;rdquo; says Bhubaneswar Yadav, who farms 10 acres at Tulsitol village in Balia block of Begusarai district.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Yadav sells his entire maize and wheat to Sunil Sah, a local village-level vyapari or produce aggregator. &amp;ldquo;We had an APMC at Begusarai, which is now shut. Even MSP procurement of wheat at the PACS (primary agricultural credit society) here has stopped after 2015-16,&amp;rdquo; he points out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Official data corroborates this: Out of the 389.92 lakh tonnes (lt) wheat that government agencies purchased from last year&amp;rsquo;s crop this April-June, Bihar&amp;rsquo;s contribution was a paltry 5,000 tonnes &amp;ndash; as against Madhya Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s 129.42 lt, Punjab&amp;rsquo;s 127.14 lt, Haryana&amp;rsquo;s 74 lt, Uttar Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s 35.77 lt and Rajasthan 22.25 lt.&lt;/p&gt;

Other side of APMC repeal: Bihar farmers want mandis, ‘like Punjab’ -Harish Damodaran

-The Indian Express Farmers in poll-bound Bihar are seeking mandis 'like in Punjab and Haryana' Begusarai, Khagaria: In 2006, Nitish Kumar’s government showed the way by repealing Bihar’s Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) Act and allowing crops to be freely traded outside the state’s regulated mandis. But 14 years on – when the Narendra Modi government at the Centre has enacted a law dismantling the monopoly of APMC mandis all over India and Nitish Kumar is seeking a fourth full term as chief minister – farmers in Bihar aren’t impressed. “Hamein yahan sarkari mandi aur MSP par khareed dono chahiye (We want both APMC and MSP-based procurement here),” says Bhubaneswar Yadav, who farms 10 acres at Tulsitol village in Balia block of Begusarai district. Yadav sells his entire maize and wheat to Sunil Sah, a local village-level vyapari or produce aggregator. “We had an APMC at Begusarai, which is now shut. Even MSP procurement of wheat at the PACS (primary agricultural credit society) here has stopped after 2015-16,” he points out. Official data corroborates this: Out of the 389.92 lakh tonnes (lt) wheat that government agencies purchased from last year’s crop this April-June, Bihar’s contribution was a paltry 5,000 tonnes – as against Madhya Pradesh’s 129.42 lt, Punjab’s 127.14 lt, Haryana’s 74 lt, Uttar Pradesh’s 35.77 lt and Rajasthan 22.25 lt.
