&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* In 2006, Bihar abolished state-run mandis. What followed is a forewarning for India&amp;rsquo;s new farm laws&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* The system is rigged in favour of the traders who cheat on every possible parameter&amp;mdash;from weight to moisture level&amp;mdash;which is why very few farmers come to Bihar&amp;rsquo;s mandis to sell produce&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;ARARIA/ PURNEA:&lt;/em&gt; Biren Bahardar thinks he is too small to raise his voice. Local traders can fleece at will while purchasing his harvest. The ration shop owner can deduct a few kilos of subsidised grains from his family&amp;rsquo;s quota every month. But Bahardar does not complain&amp;mdash;he is well adjusted to being squeezed from all sides.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A frail man in his early sixties, Bahardar farms on less than an acre of land in Turkeli, a village in Araria district of northern Bihar. He grows two crops in a year: paddy during the monsoon for home consumption which is often washed away by floods, and maize in winter&amp;mdash;the main source of cash for the marginal farmer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Last year, Bahardar sold his maize harvest to a byapari, a local trader, for ₹800 a quintal. That&amp;rsquo;s less than half the fair price announced by the government and lower than what it costs to grow a quintal. How did he know ₹800 was the market price? &amp;ldquo;Because that is what the byapari offered,&amp;quot; Bahardar said. No questions asked.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* The system is rigged in favour of the traders who cheat on every possible parameter&amp;mdash;from weight to moisture level&amp;mdash;which is why very few farmers come to Bihar&amp;rsquo;s mandis to sell produce&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;ARARIA/ PURNEA:&lt;/em&gt; Biren Bahardar thinks he is too small to raise his voice.

But Bahardar does not complain&amp;mdash;he is well adjusted to being squeezed from all sides.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A frail man in his early sixties, Bahardar farms on less than an acre of land in Turkeli, a village in Araria district of northern Bihar. He grows two crops in a year: paddy during the monsoon for home consumption which is often washed away by floods, and maize in winter&amp;mdash;the main source of cash for the marginal farmer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Last year, Bahardar sold his maize harvest to a byapari, a local trader, for ₹800 a quintal. That&amp;rsquo;s less than half the fair price announced by the government and lower than what it costs to grow a quintal. How did he know ₹800 was the market price? &amp;ldquo;Because that is what the byapari offered,&amp;quot; Bahardar said. No questions asked.&lt;/p&gt;

What trade freedom did to Bihar’s farmers -Sayantan Bera

-Livemint.com * In 2006, Bihar abolished state-run mandis. What followed is a forewarning for India’s new farm laws * The system is rigged in favour of the traders who cheat on every possible parameter—from weight to moisture level—which is why very few farmers come to Bihar’s mandis to sell produce ARARIA/ PURNEA: Biren Bahardar thinks he is too small to raise his voice. Local traders can fleece at will while purchasing his harvest. The ration shop owner can deduct a few kilos of subsidised grains from his family’s quota every month. But Bahardar does not complain—he is well adjusted to being squeezed from all sides. A frail man in his early sixties, Bahardar farms on less than an acre of land in Turkeli, a village in Araria district of northern Bihar. He grows two crops in a year: paddy during the monsoon for home consumption which is often washed away by floods, and maize in winter—the main source of cash for the marginal farmer. Last year, Bahardar sold his maize harvest to a byapari, a local trader, for 800 a quintal. That’s less than half the fair price announced by the government and lower than what it costs to grow a quintal. How did he know 800 was the market price? “Because that is what the byapari offered," Bahardar said. No questions asked. Please click here to read more.
