What are the Farming Bills?

Modi has passed three reform bills. The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce Ordinance is the first bill. In simpler terms, this bill states that farmers don’t have to go to a specific place to sell their crops. They can sell it to private buyers and companies. Farmers Agreement on Price Assurance is the second. This bill talks about how farmers can go into a contract with any of these companies. This bill takes away the Mandi. The Mandi is where the farmers were originally selling to. It also taxed the farmers heavily and therefore, got taken away. Lastly, the Farm Services Act and the Essential Commodities ordinance is the third bill. This bill says that the food the farmers sell is not essential anymore, meaning companies can demand what type of food they want and any price they want for it.
