MAHA IMPACT OF NEW FARM LAWS: Small farmers are worried about
security of payments and right prices while
horticulture producers are happy with the open
market trade.
Though there has been little participation of farmers from Maharashtra in the ongoing protests in Delhi against the contentious new farm laws, farmers from the state, especially those growing onion, cotton, soyabean, rice or pulses are worried about the future of
contract farming and the fate of Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) that gives them an assurance of timely payment.
