Since 2019, London has banned ads for foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt from the city’s subway trains and stations, buses and bus shelters
The two bills attempt to dismantle a regime that restricts their choices while keeping the safety net of minimum support price intact for farmers who are possibly not in a position to sell their produce at a desired price. Farmers will no longer be obligated to sell at designated markets (mandis) in their states. The restrictions on the stocking up of produce have also been removed, affording more freedom to farmers in bypassing the intermediaries.
Reforms such as these are not just expected to benefit the producers, but end consumers also in India. In some cases, the price spread of an agricultural produce from farm to the table is as high as 65 to 70 per cent, and that is mostly because of the various intermediaries in the process. State governments such as Haryana and Punjab might suffer losses in terms of revenues, but overall it is a win-win for both the farmers and the consumers. The Narendra Modi government deserves credit for this and the naysayers must rise above petty politics for the greater good.
