It is well known fact by now that the Khalistanis and other anti-national entities are hijacking the farmer protests, but the real concern is the BKU (Bharatiya Kisan Union) union leaders inviting farmers to oppose the bill and encouraging them to safeguard the mandi system.

Bharat must win this battle of propaganda. For the sake of our farmers. For the sake of Bharat. These farmers unions are worst nightmare for our farmers. Enemy funded chaos agents. People like Yogendra yadav’s presence in the ‘protest’ made it clear that it CANNOT be a project which is in Bharat’s national interest.

?It all started in the year 2000 (Atal Ji again… ?). Sri Shankarlal Guru was a famous Kisan leader from Gujarat. Under his chairmanship, a committee with farmer’s representation from all states was formed…to study possibilities in the agricultural marketing reforms, to provide market access to Bharatiya farmers…

?At that time, there was no agricultural ministry. It was rural development ministry which was responsible for the subject…

?All the Mandis were under Enforcement Act regulatory framework. This act was all about regulation regulation and regulation…too many and too much regulation for every activity in the agricultural sector.

?The sector was at the summit of license raj. No one could perform any agri activity without licensing. Farmers had to notify authorities at every step. Even Mandi areas were regulated and notified. Catchment area farmers from one Mandi area could not go to the nearest Mandi…

?It was a perfect feudalistic system. Farmers were stuck between geographical boundary, administrative boundary and marketing boundary. In fact the concept of marketing was almost alien for the sector which was the largest employer in the country.
?That was the true blue Congress legacy. Farmers were trapped within a ‘market area’ of 30/40 kms. Neither Farmers nor traders were allowed to move out of that area to perform buying/selling activity.

?The licensing power was with the Market Committee controlled by rocky Babus and political crooks. Atalji’s Govt took the first initiative to reform this Congress era system based on license raj.

?From 2000 to 2020, stages of reform were slow, thanks to Sonia controlled UPA Govt. Now that we have reached this current agriculture reform act. Let us first talk about Atal Ji’s first model act of 2004. APMC Model Act.

?There were 4/5 crucial points highlighted in the act:

➡️Private market access for every farmer.
➡️Promotion of direct market between farmer and consumer.
➡️Get new mandis to promote direct marketing between farmers and consumers.
➡️Allow contract farming to create demand beyond any confined area. Sell where-ever the demand is higher with best output pricing for the producers, via bulk and modern processing units…
➡️One nation, one market for agriculture was introduced in the agriculture sector with a focus to minimize influence of Aratiyas or hoarders. It was observed that there is a massive gap between growers P&L and the selling price for the consumers.

?it was observed that, only 30% of the selling price goes to the grower (for fruits and veggies), while a massive 70% remains with the Aratiyas or channel partners, who in return couldn’t even provide optimum marketability for the produce beyond their respective areas…

?State Governments in spite of few standalone efforts to minimize influence of the channel partners (Aratiyas), could not achieve the objective. It was impossible to achieve direct marketing access goals without limiting influence of the channel partners.

?In 2017, another model act was introduced (Another BJP Govt ? led by NaMo). They focused to change the definition of Mandis, beyond Mandi yards. They brought large warehouses under the definition of Mandis. They included livestock as a farm produce.

?NaMo’s initiative included a key word in the Act – DEVELOPMENT. That was a key shift from REGULATION centric approach championed by the Congress party to DEVELOPMENT centric approach. And this is not just poetry. He meant business. Here is how…

?Focus on market development and facilitation oriented approach from an earlier adopted policing approach was adopted. 2020 act is taking it a step (many steps) forward.

Here are the key features:?

➡️More focus on direct marketing, with minimal role for the channel partners. This will significantly increase the grower’s share in the overall consumer rupee. Minimum immediate impact would be 40/45% of the consumer rupee would go to the growers (small farmers to be precise).

➡️Multiple Option for Growers: Now growers can take their produce to any market or Mandi of their choice. Which was impossible in previous scenario. Earlier a grower couldn’t take his produce to an exporter, processer, large scale operator, warehouse firms etc…… NOW HE CAN. He can take his produce to the hightest bidder. To the best possible market.

➡️Now he would be able to avoid all sorts of unauthorized deductions, gunda tax, political tax, unloading charges, this charge, that charge etc. etc. Just go and check the faces of retail growers in a Mandi. He is treated like a begger, in the current feudalistic Mandi system.
➡️Current reform aims to achieve the concept of “perfect market.” Those of you who are students of economics would know the concept of perfect market. It’s basically a system with large number of buyers, large number of sellers, with a world wide market access.

?Price in a Perfect Market is the outcome of organic need, anywhere in the world. Who will benefit the most out of it??? COMMON FARMERS. NOT THOSE UNION LEADERS WHO ARE AGENTS OF FEUDALISTIC ECOSYSTEM.

?Here are some interesting data…

Bharatiya agricultural market research study found that if farmers keeps their produce within a block (Mandi catchment), they get an X amount. If they take it beyond their block, they get 5% extra.

?If they take it beyond their district to their state markets, they get additional 5% extra, beyond state to the Pan Bharatiya market access fetches them 15 to 20% additional price. A world market access will automatically open far greater opportunity for our producers.

?That is called “Zone of Influence.” Greater your ZOI, Greater is the share of growers.

?Do you know that a kilo of rice costs around 200 rupees in Africa, in wholesale market? But why our Kisan are not getting the benefit??? It’s because of the vicious cycle created by the license raj system championed by the Congress party.

?This is real reason China is far ahead of Bharat. This is the reason other agri producers like USA (Baap of Bharatiya media), Canada (The real reason for Justine Treneduo’s utterances) are feeling the heat of this proposed reform.

?As an example, a refrigerated container from Mumbai port to London costs 5000 dollars, the same damn thing costs 2000 dollars from Dubai or China. Why??? Because shippers charges higher amount from Bharat because of irregularities in agri export activity.

?With regular supplier chain, close proximity with warehouses etc would catapult Bharat to the top position in the world wide agri business which holds the key in geopolitical power game with ever rising human population.

?That is why our Prime Minister Narendramodi introduced this reform to fulfil his promise of doubling income for our farmers who are facing hardship inspite of producing one bumper production season after another…

?This is why all snakes like Medha Padkar, Yogendra yadav, Arvind Kejriwal, Mamta Benerjee, now KCR etc have been unleashed by their respective masters. This is nothing but the Great Game of Power. And it’s BHARAT Vs ENEMIES.

?It’s not a fight between Sikhs and Hindus (As our enemy agents are trying their best to portray). It’s the same old Great War Of Mudra.

?Choose your side carefully. May Mother Bharat emerges victorious. Jai Hind??️
