In Maharashtra, farmers have no right to decide the price of their own produce

When farmers like Suresh Solanke enter the premises of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) at Dharur in Beed district of Maharashtra, they are not sure what will happen to their produce.

Like all other APMCs in the State, the APMC at Dharur is dominated by politicians, who act as directors and run the show with help of traders and arhtiyas (commission agents).

“Once the farmer enters the APMC he is at the mercy of traders and arhtiyas. Farmers are helpless,” says Suresh. He adds that farmers are probably the only producers in India who have no right to decide the price of their own produce.

“At many places, price is already decided and the farmer has to just sell the produce at a decided price. Farmers can’t even take back their produce as they bring the produce to the market travelling 60-70 km,” says Vilas Nakhate, a farmer.

Farmers say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement to repeal farm laws must have come as a sigh of relief to APMC directors, traders, and arhtiyas, who were jittery about farm laws, especially the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce law, which promised to create an ecosystem where the farmers and traders could enjoy the freedom of choice of sale and purchase of agri-produce.
