What do you guys think on the day by day increasing agitation of the farmers around Delhi against the new farm laws. Farmers have also called for a nationwide one day strike on 8th December.
After going through the provisions of the laws, they have come to the conclusion that these are anti-farmer laws. So they want them withdrawn.

The main question is whether these laws will get repealed or not..
@MrKool_JJ kabhi toh boliye aap bhi 
I don’t think dimers have any say here (unless someone is also a farmer)
It’s between the government and farmers.
We should be supporting the farmers in all cases though, governments keep coming and going, farmers are permanent

Whether that happens or not, the truth is that the current situation of farmers isn’t promising too 
Except for punjab and haryana.Here farmers are much better than other parts of the country

one farmer was saying we get only 7 rupees per kg for potatoes as against retail price of 50+

But the point is that neither the farmers of Punjab find these laws as panacea nor the farmers of rest of India
The system has misunderstood MSP for “Maximum selling price”
Hardly any farmer gets MSP, getting higher than that is a dream

Yeah, but I am not an expert in this field to comment on the technicalities.
Ultimately, the farmers are the users of the law, so it should be framed as per their wish in my opinion

That’s true…the big stockists have started to stock it as the new laws allow anyone to stock as much as they can and then they can create shortness in the market for the prices to shoot up and then dump there stockpiles
Those who are concerned about farmers should definitely read all M swaminathan committee reports and the inflation trap for not giving farmers their due share.

Went through the same…inflation has already shooted up..but the prices of veggies haven’t caught the same pace…swaminathan report has given an ideal situation which is not at all possible but the report has also not given any point for the application/formation of these laws

Are you concerned about the government? As you wrote "those who are concerned about the farmers "..
The most basic thing the farmers are asking the government to repeal those new laws brother…
As per these laws, foodgrains, onions, vegetables and pulses are no longer essential items and hoarding is no longer illegal. So if the laws stay, be prepared pay more for your food.

Aren’t we already paying more

Farmers are on right way.

That is what they are asking, MSP for each and every crop (MSP is currently limited to very few crops)
Secondly, the system is corrupt, for many crops MSP is there in papers, but actual market trades don’t happen that way. Farmers don’t have any bargaining power due to perishable nature of their produce and no grievance redressal mechanism.
