The new farm laws are totally for the benefit of farmers and give them the facility to get loans against their properties and lands, he said.
“With these laws, the cultivators have a big opportunity to produce, trade, export and set up food processing units and warehouses to enhance their incomes,” the minister said.
The new laws will give farmers an opportunity to sell their produce directly to the end user, bypassing the middlemen, he said.
