Punjab: Draft agri marketing policy worse than farm laws, says SKM

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Friday said that the newly announced draft of the National Agriculture Marketing Policy by the NDA government was “more dangerous” than the three repealed farm laws.

The farmers’ body claimed that the policy, if implemented, would erode the federal rights of state governments and destroy the interest of farmers, agricultural workers, petty producers and small traders since there is no provision to ensure minimum support price (MSP) and minimum wages to farmers and farm workers.
