Why does a farmer get only Rs 1 to Rs 2 for his cauliflower crop when consumers are made to shell out Rs 20 to Rs 30 per kg in retails? Doesn't it call for fixing an #MRP to ensure consumers are not looted?? #ConsumerRights

भारतीय किसान, 'चक्रव्यूह' में फंसा अभिमन्यु

देश के ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों की लगभग 58% आबादी खेती पर निर्भर है, इतने बड़े तबके का अशांत होना देश के लिए अच्छा संकेत नहीं है

Livestock have been closely integrated within the Indian farming system, efforts to reduce methane emissions shouldn’t reduce the use of manure as fertilizer on India’s farms, as chemical fertilizers emit nitrous oxide, an even more potent greenhouse gas.

मध्यप्रदेश के किसान खेतों में खड़ी रबी फसलों पर ट्रैक्टर चला रहे हैं। इनकी फसलें ओला, पाला और ठंड के कारण फसल खराब हो गई है। गेहूं को 20 से 50 प्रतिशत तक नुकसान पहुंचा है तो दलहनी फसलों में चना, मसूर फसलें पूरी तरह बर्बाद है

Why guarantee a minimum price and why it is important?

Minimum Support Price or MSP is calculated to ensure a reasonable return over cost of production. Making it statutory is a recognition that trade below this minimum price is UNFAIR and EXPLOITATIVE. Think of it as statutory minimum wages which are already in place. A responsible food company, trader and the government are expected to pay this minimum price to the farmer. The government had a stated goal to double farmer incomes— its expected that farmers will expect a fair price.

With a population of over 1.4 billion, food security is too important for India to leave to private markets. When the Ukraine war broke out and pushed wheat prices to record highs, India could tame consumer prices reasonably by using public food stocks, MSP purchases from farmers and export curbs. MSP was critical to the green revolution strategy which pulled India out of a terrible food shortage. It is needed today to guard against future shortages arising out of repeated climate shocks.

A minimum price guarantee ensures that farmers do not lose interest and the country has enough supplies of different food commodities. With regular climate shocks our public stocks are no longer overflowing. Which is why the government had to step in and curb rice and wheat exports. Farmers paid a price for this— they would have earned more if were allowed to supply freely to international markets. They did not hit the streets then. They are doing it now to ensure fair prices in the future.
