In case of any dispute arising out of a transaction between the farmer and a trader under section 4, the parties may seek a mutually acceptable solution through conciliation by filing an application to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate who shall refer such dispute to a Conciliation Board to be appointed by him for facilitating the binding settlement of the dispute.

To begin with - there were never any barriers for cash crops or even regular crops if farmer wanted to sell on his own. Can you bring a single case where a state govt prosecuted a farmer because he sold outside ? so this freedom thing is bull$Hit. And this one thing alone puts the entire sinceretly of govt on doubt.

Cess or levy is laid by state govt now on mandis . so how can central govt take away state revenue like this ? states charge it because they do so much for farmers like lay roads so they can bring produce to the mandis.

Farmers engaging in direct marketing is another crooked lie. Does the govt think of farmers as savvy e- commerce marketeers ? they are generally much poorer and do back breaking labor. Any direct marketing between a corporate like reliance and a farmer with daughters to marry or health conditiosn has much higher chance of exploitation.

A vomit inducing bill.

First provision ae tappu , do you know who the traders will be it will be again Ambani and Adani. Reliance fresh started doing this type of practice, fixed MSP wont be there. MSP istam vachinatlu fix chesthe courts ki vellachu, do you think you gone win against ambani or adani in the courts ? do you have any answer for that ?
