I mean what does MSP do. It distorts the real price to an artificial price. Then govt buys it at this usually higher MSP and then rations it to lower price at Public distribution system. Why distort first and correct for it. Why not price it based on demand to supply. Why this hulla gulla about MSP.

"The farmer is the only businessperson who Buys in Retail and Sell in Wholesale AND pays the freight Both Ways." John F Kennedy Ex. US president. Very true.
To simply put, we can do nothing about Fuel prices which is 90 rupees per litre even though the crude oil prices are so low. Hence the corporates along with the government are forcing people to pay 90 rupees because they said so and we have no other option. Same exact way Farmers will have no other option but to carry on giving the produces to the corporates at corporates rates and wish. If the farmer refuses to sell to the corporate and wishes to sell it to APMC or others. The corporate will sue the farmer for violating the contract, something which the farmer never knew in the begining because the papers will be hidden inside corporates offices. Right now this bill will lure greedy farmers who are with Modi which are few in numbers, offer loads of money for the produces, then as years go by the corporate will keep changing their tunes of market price and will give same world market crash excuses and will rob from illiterate farmer who will think the Suit-Boot person must know everything so he is right. The poor farmer will have no clue about the world market at all. Only the corporate word will be final and just like how we Idiots pay 90 rupees for fuel, the farmer will lose his produces at cheaper rates, thus making profit for corporates like Ambani and Adani and others who have paid billions of dollars for Modi's Promotion and Election.
@@saikaushik8529 Hahaha let me add more spice for your flavor that 94% of Farmers are still doing business with private parties and corporates and Baniyas etc. But with this bloody law, Farmers will now lose their freedom more than before, corporates will rip them off like APMC does but on a larger scale, would even purchase their entire 2% lands that the farmers have, will site bullshit market crashes to the farmer for lower the price even way below MSP. Like it happens in Bihar where there is no MSP hence Farmers get 800 to 750 rupees per quintal for a 1800 per quintal grains. So yeah more suicides than before and you will probably eat Ambani's poop in the near future. So before having a complete understanding about this, why comment with half assed knowledge which is public knowledge already. It is widely known that Farming sector is a 100% Private business. And only 6% are eligible for MSP.

What ever the stand on the issue , the reality remains that farmers suicide rates are only increasing Excess grains are stored and wasted All parties always speak about farming reforms Are people ready to pay good price to buy farmers produce , since its the attitude of indian people to even bargain with street hawkers
One thing I fail to understand .... When share markets were manipulated for years after all that SEBI came into place. When infrastructure and land developing companies swindled so many, then RERA came about. We know things can get bad , we have a track record... What stops the govt to make a similar body to address all that is feared right now ????
Thanks for providing examples how corporates trys to monopoly over any product. But you know you as a citizen would never go private hospitals because of high fee. But these politicians would get American treatment or would go to AIIMS but will suggest to have gaumutra for us.
Financial Express January 2, 2021 7:00 AM: Farmers needn’t fear agri-corporates, capital injection in agriculture is crucial to benefit from scale: By MG Chandrakanth The role of corporates, especially in agriculture marketing, is far too significant as they can transfer a greater portion of the consumer rupee to farmers. The recent agitation by farmers on the three farm laws voices the apprehension that crony capitalists will take over farms and APMCs and other markets. The eminent Gandhian scholar-activist from Karnataka, MD Nanjundaswamy, too, had similar apprehensions in 1995. However, virtually nothing happened since 1995, as far as entry of corporates or crony capitalists into agriculture is concerned. However, it remains a fact that agriculture is starved of capital today, and thus there is a need to attract capital to it. Even in the US, more than 95% of the farms are family farms, and corporate farming has not entered the world’s most liberal capitalistic country in the way that most fear, here in India and around the world. That agriculture is a gamble on the monsoons is widely accepted; but it is also a gamble on the markets, due to increasing market imperfections and market inefficiencies. For perspective, out of 1.26 million registered companies in India, hardly 67 are purely agricultural companies, forming 0.008% of the pool. After including the existing 7,374 FPOs, it is a mere 0.59%! When Kentucky Fried Chicken entered India, there was a hue and cry among farmers that it is going to purchase the entire poultry industry. However, KFC is purchasing chicks from India, creating market for Indian poultry. The state-of-the-art precision farm, Simply Fresh, was set up by two IT professionals returning from Australia in 2014. With an output of around 10 tonnes of organic fruit, vegetables, medicinal plants per day with an investment of `130 crore, Hyderabad-based DeHaat is offering access to quality inputs and market linkage to 4 lakh maize, wheat, banana, litchi, vegetable farmers in Bihar, UP, Jharkhand and Odisha, resulting in a 50% increase in their farm-income. Former employees of Wipro, using digital initiatives, formed Stellapps in Bengaluru to digitise the supply-chain for 20 lakh dairy farmers (mostly small farmers) from 33,000 villages, managing an output of 11million litres of milk per day. Mahindra & Mahindra is a big corporate that produces 40% of the tractors used in farming in India. Contract farming by Namdhari’s for quality vegetables for exports in Bidadi, Karnataka, is benefiting small farmers, as income derived per acre was the highest for this group. Future Consumer, Ninja Kart, Big Basket, Milk Basket, Farm Fresh, Y-Look, More, Max-hifer, Reliance Retail, etc, are involved in procuring quality fresh fruits in Malur in Karnataka. Small farmers benefitted more than large farmers through contract farming. The farmer-sellers are first registered and are informed about the need for X quantity of vegetables of a said quality to be supplied to their outlets in advance, and the proceeds are deposited in bank account in a transparent manner. Note here, that the uniqueness of Namdhari’s stems from the fact that farmers’ produce, in addition to being marked for exports, is also sold in Namdhari’s Fresh outlets in Bengaluru. Agriculture now oscillates between the vagaries of monsoons/markets/ institutions and equity. If the corporate world is exploitative, why not have Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) demonstrate the efficiency of pooling the bargaining power of farmers in price determination and show that they are a better option than having agri-corporates engaged in contract farming? What prevents agriculture graduates from taking up farming? The answer is very clear. While production technology has progressed through R&D, agricultural marketing is still caught in the trap of inefficiencies and imperfections of APMCs. And, even if our agri-graduates do well in agriculture, they are unable to reap a higher portion of the consumer’s rupee due to the middleman, thanks to whom the marketing costs have increased. It is, therefore, crucial for the farmers to accept the three new farm laws which will benefit them by injecting competing markets. Capital injection is crucial in agriculture for it to benefit from scale in production and marketing. The experience of opening up APMC markets has indicated that market prices can increase by at least 38% through the e-NAM. The role of corporates, especially in agriculture marketing, is far too significant as they can transfer a greater portion of the consumer rupee to farmers.
These acts infact are unfit to the reality of Indian Agriculture.The indian agriculture is highly decentralised and wide spread that central commercial models would never be possible to be applied successfully. It is not going to ne adopted by the farmers .But are likely to loose the MSP. The Govt really can do it.
Mr Sainath, being a telugu person, he should first listen to the excellent analysis by Dr.Jayaprakash and respond. Unfortunately, it is in Telugu and worth translating into other languages. He just demolished these naysayers.
Farm bill may help corporates , definitely help farmers. It will modernize and streamline farmers activities, preprocessing, storing and distribution . The persons it will affect are goondas of apmc!
When the current system is not getting abolished then how is it that the situation will be worse than what it is currently? Have we not seen lot of grains and vegetables getting wasted because the Government does not have enough place to store them. If Private players and private companies are so bad then why are you not using BSNL and Doordarshan ? As a farmer if I have the option to sell the produce at MSP why will I sell it at lower price? Earlier there was no option to make a contract, now there is option of making a proper contract, so earlier the farmer was not not Procter but was better off? How?
I believe msp should be implemented by bringing a law to be enforced. Loans should be given small farmers and traders to set up cold storage warehouses. Economy will boom in some time ,
If bringing the law on MSP was a solution to farmers's grievances ,, why haven't any govt done that ?? Think about this .. P Sainath has completely failed here
Jai Hind, Farmers and soldiers are our back bone very important. We have to support both. I request and urge all the readers and subscription members to download pdf of all 3 farm bill and read it by yourself. Search in this name THE FARMERS (EMPOWERMENT AND PROTECTION) AGREEMENT ON PRICE ASSURANCE AND FARM SERVICES ACT, 2020 Guidelines price assurance and farm services Act, 2020 .pdf search the script of original farm bill talked in lok sabha. Read in your own regional language along with English the farm bill. This is one of the best solution. By reading your understanding and supporting the right cause. Thanks
No way this Governments can do it. Basically all Government take support for Election funds, Prime Minister fund etc. When you receive fund dafinatly ask favour from Government. This funding, etc. Must stope. Than you will reduce corruption and others things.
Sir, The solution you proposed ... the first part, minimum price. Won't that outright destroy commons based farming? Not every place uses trade or money you know, sharing is the primary in lots of places too. Also, to counter this bill, why not use www.openfoodnetwork.org/ to create a massive farmers' market?
When the price is low in market, why the company is getting agreement with farmer? Sahukars cannot be create monopoly but corporate can create such. So don't tell 🙄 MSP is the only option to protect formar
I disagree, if the contract is correctly written in black & white, I don't think Farmer can lose, but the point is farmer needs to be educated, the govt has to develop tools for the farmer so they can use templates to write contracts. 100% agree that farmers are not protected by the govt. Going to a point mention, prices drop and the contract will not be respected anymore, well If I will be farmer, I will write the contract lump sum, and contract cancellation will be full price cancellation. If the payment is not received within net X days, there will be delay charges by 18% on principal compounded monthly. I will write a contract in a way, that there will be 50% startup and rest will be milestone payment, say 10% the day the farm is planted, 20% the mid, when the farm is ready for harvest, final 30% to close out the contract, there will be liquidation damages if the corporate does not follow contract. In a nutshell one has to be very vigilant, and which is the main reason for farmers to protest. Farmers(I also) believe 100% that farmer will be cheated, and which is correct thinking bylarge.
An exploitation by the carporate is controlled by the cooperative movement no because the carporate will exploite by the help of the govt. which will be in power.😢 the cooperative movement will be done loose.farmer will be exploited every where in three new agri bill.The bill is not legal so the bill should be cancel.
Won't the corporates have to compete with each other to offer better prices ? Are you in support of the existing system ? How has the farmers plight improved in the current system ?
If there is monopoly, then nobody needs to compete with anyone. And in a huge country like India, existence of only five-six companies mean monopoly. The destruction of agriculture was deliberately started 30 years ago in order to lead to what is passing now. The new bills are the culmination of the 'present' system, that started in the early '90s.
I wish sainath sir would have given more about before and after bill effect rather than the very leftist thoughts. I am not anti leftist thoughts but need a person like sainath sir to give the pros too and the negatives of the apmcs too. A competitive hoarding maybe bad for the consumer but maybe good for the farmer. (A conclusion reached after discussing with a very well informed educated farmer). I have done a contract for potatoes with pepsi for past 8 years, I have grown wheat rice corn sugarcane ,kinnow, sweet lime and mangoes.. It's always been minimum price for max for consumer. How does my Dashehri Mango go from 12 rs. a kg at azadpur Mandi (transport is mine) and sells on a raihrdi in vasant Vihar for 70 rs. The trust deficit with this govt. Is there. All these 3 changes of you look from a neutral prospective is for the corporations and if farmer gains that's a by product. It should be the other way around. My take this will benefit farmers initially as corporations will try and take the mandis, apmcs , smaller players out .. same way jio did with the competition. If the farmer is all important here , one thing is rightly said get a bill to draft the set agreement , if land can't be possessed, court cases and stay orders on land is something that corporates can do.
APMC came into existence when there was shortage in India. Now, we have surplus, so why there is fear? Are you saying now country will not food. Law permits Unlimited stocking is a wrong and misleading. Pl. Show me where it is written. I challenge to the speaker to show where it is written. There are well laid out safeguards.
Dear all, Poor farmer will suffer eventually. Big traders will buy food grains from poor with suppressed price or little money and the poor farmer has no choice because most farmers do not have house to live and where do they have place as to store his food grains? This is another jumla. Even his minister has resigned. I have taken farm loan from bank with 3% interest, later it raised it to 9% without informing me. Farmer felt cheated, One side bank and other side from traders, I am afraid one day we will not have food to eat. This is going to happen soon if you dont listen to farmers. Very bad scheme.
Sad to know after hearing the discussion that Mr. Sainath has not even read the laws or not understood the safeguards mentioned in the law. I suggest everyone should read the laws and see what is mentioned and what is explained. There is lot of gap.
Why you hiding the fact that contract farming is not new . It has been happening since 2003 in maharashtra and tamilnadu . Why other states not protesting (relatively).
You empower the farmer you educate the poor class and generations after. You start the real game of eradicating depravity. You gift to the corporations you eradicate depravity through deaths and you put the likes of Ambani at the helm. It’s an easy choice for Modiji ! As for the middle class their lives will be one big Ambani show! Imagine all your likes, aspirations, philosophy, decisions will be harnessed by this guy simply by paisa in his bank account !
Arguments are not empirically proved. Just analyse how farmers benefited by Contract farming like seed production, vegetable production and other high value products. Companies like Namadhari have done excellent service to the small farmers. In spite of MSP why farmers are in agrarian crisis and committing suicides. Why you are not protesting against private banks
These two gentlemen sadly, have no comprehension capabilities. The interviewer started with a blunder saying that APMC act is abolished. No credibility in their talk.
B.S.😂😂 please get the view of an economist. Ask Mr. Sainath why milk, fisheries and poultry are doing so much better with private participation than cereals, horticulture or other grains?
How on earth did you expect a fake degree holder propped up by propaganda machinery and protected by an abusive troll army to govern a country as diverse as ours.
The speaker has no figures / statistics to support his arguments. The APMC amendment merely opens up the market following laissez faire. He does not for instance compare the benefits of free market which has brought down the prices of communication and at the same time enhancing the revenue due to scale economies. Sounds nationalization of agricultural markets further exacerbating the predicament of farmers. There are no statistics regarding how many large corporates have come to Bihar and contributed to exploitation of farmers. Milk trade is quoted, however it is under coop sector. Milk is not a notified commodity in APMC as it is procured, processed, packed and distributed in the cooperative sector. He admits that bulk of the transaction is outside APMC, but does not argue how that fact is yet to provide remunerative prices to farmers. The Swaminathan has recommended that the MSP should be at least 50 percent more than the weighted average cost of production. Accordingly, Government has increased MSPs with a return of at least 50 percent over cost of production. The Bhuvantar Bhugatan yojana of MP assures the farmers the difference between the MSP and the price at which the produce is sold, which is below the MSP. The speaker does not recognize this. Mentions that the difference between A2 plus family labor plus 50% and comprehensive cost + 50% is a sizeable Rs. 800, but does not give details. Speaker assumes that the existing system of APMC will be taken away, which implies has not understood the policy. Mentions pro corporate intent indicating that farmers will be deprived of APMC. While on the other hand, APMC will continue and farmers have in addition other avenues where they may realize remunerative prices and farmers are totally free to chose wherever they wish to sell, even if they wish to sell at MSP or at any price offered is higher or lower than MSP. Speaker indicates that 145 million farmers, over 70% are net purchasers of food grains in the market. Thus high food prices are going to hurt the farmers. The speaker does not analyze the difference between the scale of farmer's production for the market and the size of farmer's consumption for the household. Obviously the scale of sale is higher than the size of purchase for the household. . This clearly shows the intent of the speaker in helping the farmers not realize remunerative prices by opposing the APMC amendments. Who is going to buy Cotton, sugarcane? Speaker mentions about labourers that they did not benefit from free market. While on the other hand it is precisely due to the free market for labor, the migrant labor force from one State is going to deficit state in search of higher wage rates. Agriculture labor is no exception. Agriculture labor is now no where below Rs. 300 as the NREGA wages are themselves Rs. 202 per day. The speaker is not aware of the inelastic demand for food produce as also inelastic supply of agricultural produce which is responsible for farmer being a price taker than a price maker and it is only the policy which needs to help farmers, similar to Brannan plan in the USA. The interview is an exhibition of shallow analysis of the situation as also offering no solution.
I support Bill becoz every anti-national is opposing it.🙏 Congress and its ecosystem never did anything for Farmers. Now they are out with crocodile tears.

എന്താണ് കർഷക ബില്ല് ❓❓❓
അറിയാത്തവർക്ക് വേണ്ടി ഒരു ചെറിയ അറിവ്
ഒന്നാമത്തെ നിയമം:
കർഷകർക്ക് അവരുടെ ഉൽപ്പന്നങ്ങൾക്ക് മിനിമം വില ഉറപ്പാക്കുന്ന കർഷക മാർക്കറ്റുകൾ ഇല്ലാതാക്കി.
ആർക്കും എവിടെയും വില നിയന്ത്രണങ്ങൾ ഇല്ലാതെ കാർഷിക ഉൽപ്പന്നങ്ങൾ വാങ്ങാനും വിൽക്കാനും കഴിയുന്ന സ്ഥിതി വരാൻ പോകുന്നു. താങ്ങുവില ഉറപ്പുനൽകി ഉൽപ്പന്നങ്ങൾ സംഭരിക്കുന്ന നിലപാടിൽ നിന്നും സർക്കാർ പിന്നോട്ട് പോകുന്നു.
യഥേഷ്ടം സാധനങ്ങൾ വിൽക്കാൻ കഴിയുന്ന തരത്തിലേക്ക് നിയമങ്ങൾ മാറുന്നതോടെ സ്വകാര്യ കുത്തകകൾ കാർഷിക മേഖലയിൽ ആധിപത്യം ഉറപ്പിക്കും. സർക്കാർ ഇടപെടൽ ഇല്ലാതാകുന്നതോടെ ഇടത്തട്ടുകാരന്റെ വേഷമണിഞ്ഞെത്തുന്ന ഇവർ കാർഷിക മേഖലയുടെ നിയന്ത്രണം ഏറ്റെടുക്കും. കൃഷിക്കാരുടെ ജീവിതം സമ്പൂർണ്ണ ദുരിതത്തിലാകും.
രണ്ടാമത്തെ നിയമം:
ആവശ്യ സാധന നിയന്ത്രണ നിയമം എടുത്തു കളയുന്നതാണ് രണ്ടാം നിയമം.
നിലവിൽ ആർക്കും ഒരു നിശ്ചിത പരിധിക്ക് മുകളിൽ അവശ്യ സാധനങ്ങൾ ശേഖരിച്ചു വയ്ക്കാൻ രാജ്യത്ത് അവകാശമില്ല.
ആ നിയന്ത്രണം ഇല്ലാതാകുന്നതോടെ ഇനി ആർക്കും കാർഷിക ഭക്ഷ്യ സാധനങ്ങൾ ആവശ്യത്തിലധികം വാങ്ങാനും പൂഴ്ത്തിവയ്ക്കാനും അവസരമുണ്ടാകും.
ഇത് കരിംചന്തയും വിലക്കയറ്റവും ഉൾപ്പെടെയുള്ള അപകടകരമായ സ്ഥിതിവിശേഷം സൃഷ്ടിക്കും.

I get an image of farmers being let out like lambs to the slaughter !
சிறப்பான தொகுப்பு🙏 நன்றி தோழர் சாய்நாத்
Give him seat in rajyasabha 👏👏 you are very knowledgeable 🙏
Unfortunately more than half of elected representatives of the states have criminal cases and people like him won't be accepted...
What ever the stand on the issue ,
the reality remains that farmers suicide rates are only increasing
Excess grains are stored and wasted
All parties always speak about farming reforms
Are people ready to pay good price to buy farmers produce , since its the attitude of indian people to even bargain with street hawkers
Only journalist, who boast the vast knowledge and moral authority on this subject
One thing I fail to understand .... When share markets were manipulated for years after all that SEBI came into place.
When infrastructure and land developing companies swindled so many, then RERA came about.
We know things can get bad , we have a track record... What stops the govt to make a similar body to address all that is feared right now ????
Very well explained
Fantastic channel
Thanks for providing examples how corporates trys to monopoly over any product. But you know you as a citizen would never go private hospitals because of high fee. But these politicians would get American treatment or would go to AIIMS but will suggest to have gaumutra for us.
Hypocrisy ki BHI hadh Hoti hai.
Very useful and valueable discussion made us understand the plight of our farmers

Financial Express January 2, 2021 7:00 AM: Farmers needn’t fear agri-corporates, capital injection in agriculture is crucial to benefit from scale: By MG Chandrakanth
The role of corporates, especially in agriculture marketing, is far too significant as they can transfer a greater portion of the consumer rupee to farmers. The recent agitation by farmers on the three farm laws voices the apprehension that crony capitalists will take over farms and APMCs and other markets. The eminent Gandhian scholar-activist from Karnataka, MD Nanjundaswamy, too, had similar apprehensions in 1995. However, virtually nothing happened since 1995, as far as entry of corporates or crony capitalists into agriculture is concerned. However, it remains a fact that agriculture is starved of capital today, and thus there is a need to attract capital to it.
Even in the US, more than 95% of the farms are family farms, and corporate farming has not entered the world’s most liberal capitalistic country in the way that most fear, here in India and around the world. That agriculture is a gamble on the monsoons is widely accepted; but it is also a gamble on the markets, due to increasing market imperfections and market inefficiencies. For perspective, out of 1.26 million registered companies in India, hardly 67 are purely agricultural companies, forming 0.008% of the pool. After including the existing 7,374 FPOs, it is a mere 0.59%! When Kentucky Fried Chicken entered India, there was a hue and cry among farmers that it is going to purchase the entire poultry industry. However, KFC is purchasing chicks from India, creating market for Indian poultry.
The state-of-the-art precision farm, Simply Fresh, was set up by two IT professionals returning from Australia in 2014. With an output of around 10 tonnes of organic fruit, vegetables, medicinal plants per day with an investment of `130 crore, Hyderabad-based DeHaat is offering access to quality inputs and market linkage to 4 lakh maize, wheat, banana, litchi, vegetable farmers in Bihar, UP, Jharkhand and Odisha, resulting in a 50% increase in their farm-income. Former employees of Wipro, using digital initiatives, formed Stellapps in Bengaluru to digitise the supply-chain for 20 lakh dairy farmers (mostly small farmers) from 33,000 villages, managing an output of 11million litres of milk per day.
Mahindra & Mahindra is a big corporate that produces 40% of the tractors used in farming in India. Contract farming by Namdhari’s for quality vegetables for exports in Bidadi, Karnataka, is benefiting small farmers, as income derived per acre was the highest for this group. Future Consumer, Ninja Kart, Big Basket, Milk Basket, Farm Fresh, Y-Look, More, Max-hifer, Reliance Retail, etc, are involved in procuring quality fresh fruits in Malur in Karnataka. Small farmers benefitted more than large farmers through contract farming. The farmer-sellers are first registered and are informed about the need for X quantity of vegetables of a said quality to be supplied to their outlets in advance, and the proceeds are deposited in bank account in a transparent manner. Note here, that the uniqueness of Namdhari’s stems from the fact that farmers’ produce, in addition to being marked for exports, is also sold in Namdhari’s Fresh outlets in Bengaluru.
Agriculture now oscillates between the vagaries of monsoons/markets/ institutions and equity. If the corporate world is exploitative, why not have Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) demonstrate the efficiency of pooling the bargaining power of farmers in price determination and show that they are a better option than having agri-corporates engaged in contract farming?
What prevents agriculture graduates from taking up farming? The answer is very clear. While production technology has progressed through R&D, agricultural marketing is still caught in the trap of inefficiencies and imperfections of APMCs. And, even if our agri-graduates do well in agriculture, they are unable to reap a higher portion of the consumer’s rupee due to the middleman, thanks to whom the marketing costs have increased. It is, therefore, crucial for the farmers to accept the three new farm laws which will benefit them by injecting competing markets.
Capital injection is crucial in agriculture for it to benefit from scale in production and marketing. The experience of opening up APMC markets has indicated that market prices can increase by at least 38% through the e-NAM. The role of corporates, especially in agriculture marketing, is far too significant as they can transfer a greater portion of the consumer rupee to farmers.
Excellent discussion👍
The irony.
Below this video there is a JioMart ad.
Absolutely correct.
These acts infact are unfit to the reality of Indian Agriculture.The indian agriculture is highly decentralised and wide spread that central commercial models would never be possible to be applied successfully. It is not going to ne adopted by the farmers .But are likely to loose the MSP. The Govt really can do it.
95 % of india anyway don't hv msp..
So, except haryana, punjab msp is irrelevant
🌸🙏 kindly please make this video specially in Hindi . By doing so Sir your message could reach to more people of India.
Very good analysis
Mr Sainath, being a telugu person, he should first listen to the excellent analysis by Dr.Jayaprakash and respond. Unfortunately, it is in Telugu and worth translating into other languages. He just demolished these naysayers.
True.
Very true. These two gentlemen do not have any comprehensive capabilities.
Farm bill may help corporates , definitely help farmers. It will modernize and streamline farmers activities, preprocessing, storing and distribution . The persons it will affect are goondas of apmc!
Whole transactions in Agricultural should be subordinated to the the MSP as known from Swaminathan commission.
Where is abhisar Sharma sir?
When the current system is not getting abolished then how is it that the situation will be worse than what it is currently? Have we not seen lot of grains and vegetables getting wasted because the Government does not have enough place to store them. If Private players and private companies are so bad then why are you not using BSNL and Doordarshan ? As a farmer if I have the option to sell the produce at MSP why will I sell it at lower price? Earlier there was no option to make a contract, now there is option of making a proper contract, so earlier the farmer was not not Procter but was better off? How?
These bills likely to led Another CHAMPARAN MOVEMENT
BUT ONLY DIFFERENCE is this without MAHATMA GANDHI
🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌
Where is Abishar Sharma show and why news click is not updating about him ? can anyone pls rely me ?
I believe msp should be implemented by bringing a law to be enforced.
Loans should be given small farmers and traders to set up cold storage warehouses.
Economy will boom in some time ,
If bringing the law on MSP was a solution to farmers's grievances ,, why haven't any govt done that ??
Think about this .. P Sainath has completely failed here
Jai Hind,
Farmers and soldiers are our back bone very important. We have to support both.
I request and urge all the readers and subscription members to download pdf of all 3 farm bill and read it by yourself.
Search in this name THE FARMERS (EMPOWERMENT AND PROTECTION) AGREEMENT ON
PRICE ASSURANCE AND FARM SERVICES ACT, 2020
Guidelines price assurance and farm services Act, 2020 .pdf
search the script of original farm bill talked in lok sabha.
Read in your own regional language along with English the farm bill.
This is one of the best solution. By reading your understanding and supporting the right cause.
Thanks
The new acts not only are iill advise but will fail by their own contradictions.
No way this Governments can do it. Basically all Government take support for Election funds, Prime Minister fund etc. When you receive fund dafinatly ask favour from Government. This funding, etc. Must stope. Than you will reduce corruption and others things.
Sir,
The solution you proposed ... the first part, minimum price. Won't that outright destroy commons based farming? Not every place uses trade or money you know, sharing is the primary in lots of places too.
Also, to counter this bill, why not use www.openfoodnetwork.org/ to create a massive farmers' market?
When the price is low in market, why the company is getting agreement with farmer? Sahukars cannot be create monopoly but corporate can create such. So don't tell 🙄
MSP is the only option to protect formar
I disagree, if the contract is correctly written in black & white, I don't think Farmer can lose, but the point is farmer needs to be educated, the govt has to develop tools for the farmer so they can use templates to write contracts. 100% agree that farmers are not protected by the govt. Going to a point mention, prices drop and the contract will not be respected anymore, well If I will be farmer, I will write the contract lump sum, and contract cancellation will be full price cancellation. If the payment is not received within net X days, there will be delay charges by 18% on principal compounded monthly. I will write a contract in a way, that there will be 50% startup and rest will be milestone payment, say 10% the day the farm is planted, 20% the mid, when the farm is ready for harvest, final 30% to close out the contract, there will be liquidation damages if the corporate does not follow contract. In a nutshell one has to be very vigilant, and which is the main reason for farmers to protest. Farmers(I also) believe 100% that farmer will be cheated, and which is correct thinking bylarge.
An exploitation by the corporat is controlled by the cooprative movement. You say somthing about this.
An exploitation by the carporate is controlled by the cooperative movement no because the carporate will exploite by the help of the govt. which will be in power.😢 the cooperative movement will be done loose.farmer will be exploited every where in three new agri bill.The bill is not legal so the bill should be cancel.
@@pruthvirajtayde2924 my talk about co oparative is not support to three law, i say these law is anti public.
@@pruthvirajtayde2924 one example,AMUL.
Won't the corporates have to compete with each other to offer better prices ? Are you in support of the existing system ? How has the farmers plight improved in the current system ?
If there is monopoly, then nobody needs to compete with anyone. And in a huge country like India, existence of only five-six companies mean monopoly. The destruction of agriculture was deliberately started 30 years ago in order to lead to what is passing now. The new bills are the culmination of the 'present' system, that started in the early '90s.
Excellent exposition of the ramifications of the ordinance. Hope the Professor is wrong.
They said the same for 1991 reform.
I wish sainath sir would have given more about before and after bill effect rather than the very leftist thoughts.
I am not anti leftist thoughts but need a person like sainath sir to give the pros too and the negatives of the apmcs too.
A competitive hoarding maybe bad for the consumer but maybe good for the farmer. (A conclusion reached after discussing with a very well informed educated farmer).
I have done a contract for potatoes with pepsi for past 8 years, I have grown wheat rice corn sugarcane ,kinnow, sweet lime and mangoes..
It's always been minimum price for max for consumer.
How does my Dashehri Mango go from 12 rs. a kg at azadpur Mandi (transport is mine) and sells on a raihrdi in vasant Vihar for 70 rs.
The trust deficit with this govt. Is there.
All these 3 changes of you look from a neutral prospective is for the corporations and if farmer gains that's a by product. It should be the other way around.
My take this will benefit farmers initially as corporations will try and take the mandis, apmcs , smaller players out .. same way jio did with the competition.
If the farmer is all important here , one thing is rightly said get a bill to draft the set agreement , if land can't be possessed, court cases and stay orders on land is something that corporates can do.
APMC came into existence when there was shortage in India. Now, we have surplus, so why there is fear? Are you saying now country will not food.
Law permits Unlimited stocking is a wrong and misleading. Pl. Show me where it is written. I challenge to the speaker to show where it is written. There are well laid out safeguards.
Yes to Ambani and Adani. We know how Jio eliminated several players in telecom.
It's written in third bill.
Dear all,
Poor farmer will suffer eventually. Big traders will buy food grains from poor with suppressed price or little money and the poor farmer has no choice because most farmers do not have house to live and where do they have place as to store his food grains? This is another jumla. Even his minister has resigned. I have taken farm loan from bank with 3% interest, later it raised it to 9% without informing me. Farmer felt cheated, One side bank and other side from traders, I am afraid one day we will not have food to eat. This is going to happen soon if you dont listen to farmers. Very bad scheme.
This should be in Hindi also.
What about Kerala and Maharashtra sir
Sad to know after hearing the discussion that Mr. Sainath has not even read the laws or not understood the safeguards mentioned in the law. I suggest everyone should read the laws and see what is mentioned and what is explained. There is lot of gap.
From where we can get it
Tu pad lo pehle. We have read it. There is no safeguard for farmer. But there is for consumer.
Corporates know how to manipulate safeguards legally. APMC is a small thief, but corporates are dacoits.
Why you hiding the fact that contract farming is not new . It has been happening since 2003 in maharashtra and tamilnadu . Why other states not protesting (relatively).
You might forget 2018 protests over onion prices which got sold at rs 8. And one farmer had credited to Modi account itself. To show his protest.
You empower the farmer you educate the poor class and generations after. You start the real game of eradicating depravity. You gift to the corporations you eradicate depravity through deaths and you put the likes of Ambani at the helm. It’s an easy choice for Modiji ! As for the middle class their lives will be one big Ambani show! Imagine all your likes, aspirations, philosophy, decisions will be harnessed by this guy simply by paisa in his bank account !
Tbroughlly convincing. Let's see how the system sta iliaes.
Arguments are not empirically proved. Just analyse how farmers benefited by Contract farming like seed production, vegetable production and other high value products. Companies like Namadhari have done excellent service to the small farmers. In spite of MSP why farmers are in agrarian crisis and committing suicides. Why you are not protesting against private banks
0:53 What's wrong with it?
These two gentlemen sadly, have no comprehension capabilities. The interviewer started with a blunder saying that APMC act is abolished. No credibility in their talk.
B.S.😂😂 please get the view of an economist. Ask Mr. Sainath why milk, fisheries and poultry are doing so much better with private participation than cereals, horticulture or other grains?
After watching this shit!! Me: Money grows on trees in fact there is a tree called the Money plant 😉
Farmer sows the seed. Bible is the seed God jesus sowed n satisfied our soul. C " Bible' in google!'....

Modi government keeps fumbling, it just cannot do anything right.
How on earth did you expect a fake degree holder propped up by propaganda machinery and protected by an abusive troll army to govern a country as diverse as ours.
The speaker has no figures / statistics to support his arguments. The APMC amendment merely opens up the market following laissez faire. He does not for instance compare the benefits of free market which has brought down the prices of communication and at the same time enhancing the revenue due to scale economies. Sounds nationalization of agricultural markets further exacerbating the predicament of farmers. There are no statistics regarding how many large corporates have come to Bihar and contributed to exploitation of farmers. Milk trade is quoted, however it is under coop sector. Milk is not a notified commodity in APMC as it is procured, processed, packed and distributed in the cooperative sector. He admits that bulk of the transaction is outside APMC, but does not argue how that fact is yet to provide remunerative prices to farmers. The Swaminathan has recommended that the MSP should be at least 50 percent more than the weighted average cost of production. Accordingly, Government has increased MSPs with a return of at least 50 percent over cost of production. The Bhuvantar Bhugatan yojana of MP assures the farmers the difference between the MSP and the price at which the produce is sold, which is below the MSP. The speaker does not recognize this. Mentions that the difference between A2 plus family labor plus 50% and comprehensive cost + 50% is a sizeable Rs. 800, but does not give details. Speaker assumes that the existing system of APMC will be taken away, which implies has not understood the policy. Mentions pro corporate intent indicating that farmers will be deprived of APMC. While on the other hand, APMC will continue and farmers have in addition other avenues where they may realize remunerative prices and farmers are totally free to chose wherever they wish to sell, even if they wish to sell at MSP or at any price offered is higher or lower than MSP. Speaker indicates that 145 million farmers, over 70% are net purchasers of food grains in the market. Thus high food prices are going to hurt the farmers. The speaker does not analyze the difference between the scale of farmer's production for the market and the size of farmer's consumption for the household. Obviously the scale of sale is higher than the size of purchase for the household. . This clearly shows the intent of the speaker in helping the farmers not realize remunerative prices by opposing the APMC amendments. Who is going to buy Cotton, sugarcane? Speaker mentions about labourers that they did not benefit from free market. While on the other hand it is precisely due to the free market for labor, the migrant labor force from one State is going to deficit state in search of higher wage rates. Agriculture labor is no exception. Agriculture labor is now no where below Rs. 300 as the NREGA wages are themselves Rs. 202 per day. The speaker is not aware of the inelastic demand for food produce as also inelastic supply of agricultural produce which is responsible for farmer being a price taker than a price maker and it is only the policy which needs to help farmers, similar to Brannan plan in the USA. The interview is an exhibition of shallow analysis of the situation as also offering no solution.
I support Bill becoz every anti-national is opposing it.🙏 Congress and its ecosystem never did anything for Farmers. Now they are out with crocodile tears.
But even the farmers arent supporting no?
