Abstract

Farm Bills-2020, as they proclaim to set up competitive alternative channels to create an eco system with freedom of choice for farmer and trader in sale and procurement of agricultural produce by facilitating remunerative prices as its preamble, would run contrary to its preamble with the law leaning more towards the interest of traders as against farmers. By juxtaposing the provisions in Farm Bills with the agrarian markets which were considerably liberalised in the state of Telangana, we argue that there is a need for more sustained intervention from state in agricultural marketing by acting as facilitators of regulated decentralised procurement of agrarian produce, as against withdrawal of state necessitated by reforms. We critically engage with the idea of freedom of choice by placing the existing assymetrical dyadic interaction between farmer and trader enmeshed in debt trap which robs the very idea of freedom of choice of farmers to sell their produce.
