Last year, the farmers, especially soybean cultivators, had to go for a second or third sowing due to substandard seeds. For example: inter-district curbs have impacted the availability of work force, banks and Agriculture Produce Market Committees (APMCs) are functioning in restricted timings with limited staff, district agriculture centres are closed. But prolonged lockdown is neither helping farmers nor rural economy. I can state with guarantee that in Kharif 2021 too, farmers will sell the soybean at Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,500. What is the stand of SSS on Centre’s new farm laws as farmers’ protest completes six months?
