New Farm Laws Will Only Fix Stiff Regulations by Granting Farmers Their Rights. Why Are They Protesting Then?

News 18  

There has been a lot of discussion regarding the recent protest by a certain section of farmers around the national capital. Many have termed it farmers’ protest, a term which is used loosely and one that would suggest that farmers across the country are opposing these new laws. The first law attempts at creating a private market system thereby allowing farmers to sell their produce even outside the regulated government mandis. However, the new laws allow the farmers the flexibility to exit a contract at any given time while corporates must pay a penalty in the event of termination of contract prior to the stipulated timeframe. This information is vital and the new laws will allow farmers to act on this information and sell their produce across the country.
