Farmers’ protests | Impasse over agri reforms in the eyes of five economists and experts (Daily Hunt) 

December 11, 2020


Daily Hunt published an article describing the thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana who are protesting at Delhi borders against the recently enacted farm laws. 

Former IFPRI-South Asia office director PK Joshi who has followed the protests, said, “I for one have failed to figure out why the farmers are agitating! All three bills are very sound, very good bills. Farmers and agriculture are getting just what they have been demanding for years. I can believe that traders are unhappy, but why farmers? It is amusing to see those who have been calling for reforms in the APMC Act for years, now doing a U-turn, demanding impossibly, that MSP be made legal.”
