Explained: Why government is reluctant to commit MSP
Explained: Why government is reluctant to commit MSP The fear about the mandi system collapsing and farmers losing their money, nothing of the sort is written in the new farm laws. Farmer unions are also quoting Bihar’s example where the Agricultural Produce Market Committee system was done away with in 2006 to allow the farmers to sell produces outside designated mandis in the state. But the new laws omit the mentioning of the MSP although the government, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has assured on multiple occasions that the old structure will not be replaced by the new laws, instead, it will create more opportunities for farmers to sell their items at a good price. The fear about the mandi system collapsing and farmers losing their money, nothing of the sort is written in the new farm laws -- the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce Bill, 2020; the Farmers Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020; and the Essential Commodities Bill.
