In November 2020, thousands of farmers marched from the northern states of India to Delhi to protest farming reforms passed by Prime Minister Modi’s government. Those protests have continued throughout the month of December and show little sign of letting up. The farmers have set up camp in and around the capital city to pressure the government to repeal the laws, but the government won’t budge.
The government says these new laws will modernize farming by liberalizing the industry, but India’s farmers say it will be their downfall. Under these new policies, farmers will have fewer government protections and will likely lose the government-regulated markets and prices they have relied on for decades.
To make matters even more difficult, all this is happening as India’s farmers grapple with a shrinking share of the economy that has contributed to a suicide crisis around the country.
To understand the three farming reforms and why they have driven so many farmers into the streets, as well as the history behind the problems farmers have been facing for decades, watch the video above.

RIP Indian Media
HAHAHHA , SO TRUE MAN
It’s the same around the world. Thankfully we have the internet to learn about what is happening around us!
Watch The print's cut the clutter and The lallantop cover of farm protest you will get clear idea and lallantop and the print are supporting opposite spectrum so you will get full picture no need to thank
Do some of your own research
If its a little obscured doesn't mean it isn't there , the mainstream media outlets cover highlights and "their" arguments this is an just an summary by vox , its their job
imagine a foreign media outlet giving us more information about an indian issue than our own media
Did not even think about that woah, but i would still take our media reports with a grain of salt. Just a precaution...
Bcoz colonial mindset of many is still there they love what white folks tells. Ask VOX how come they have 0 issue with walmart, target or amazon etc ohhh capital company is good till the time they support your political ideology.
Oh yeah? Why are only farmers, including produce brokers and politicians, who control the monopolistic markets of two states, Punjab and Haryana, protesting ? Why not the farmers of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra, Telengana, Karnataka ?
As the first impact of the farm laws, Reliance Retail sealed rice deal with Karnataka state farmers, and paid them above MSP price, offering Rs 1,950 per quintal of Sona Masoori rice, which is Rs 82 more than the minimum support price (MSP). Google it, it's there. This is good news for farmers and shows the new farm laws are in their benefit. So I still don't understand why the Punjab state farmers are protesting.
I support the government initiative. Here we don't have tolerance for protest and social disobedience

*2* Middlemen - they are a strong lobby & dominate the Mandi/ APMC . Most do not stick to MSP set by the Govt. They buy real cheap & sell much higher in the open Market. Obviously, their profits is what keeps them afloat. Govt set MSP will not get them much .

True words 👏🏼
Doesn't work against the BJP government, they have autocratic ideologies. A protest against the new Citizenship act (which discriminated against Muslims) by the government that faced backlash from all over India even by the unaffected. Protests started in November of 2019 when the bill was drafted and we has to dismantle everything in March of this year because of Covid otherwise the Protest would still be going on. India is facing a political crisis because of our manipulating far-right government and its more polarising that the US elections in my opinion.

Shame on indian media.
Indian media is sold out, they just criticise opposition leaders, why don't they tell us directly what's wrong, they have nothing to say on their own?
@TILEN FABE Exactly! This is what this crooked government and its sympathized lifeless media are doing! Shame on these people!
Indian media is amazing , they supported congress till 2013 now they're supporting BJP
Indian media only knows and cares about what bollywood stars are doing, getting pregnant or divorced blah blah blah
media all over the world are colluding with their government. Powerful capitalists are controlling both the government and the media. Democracy is inherently prone to manipulation by the small group of elite.
Question...same way the farmers organized themselves for the protest why can‘t they step up as a union when it comes to bargaining the prices outside the regulated markets?
That's very smart. I want the answer to it too.
Bro then why need reforms
Why need mandis
Can't everyone just make up a union and fix pirices with big player or corporates???
Bro if it was possible then their wouldn't be any need for farmer protection laws and reforms
Unions in India are way too politicized. That's why. If you're not affiliated, you're a nobody.
Farmers are in very large in no. But the people who buy farmers produce are very less
If the middle man don't buy the produce farmers can't store it , so eventually they have to sell it at a price offered by middleman
Why don’t they run for office
Just one clarification, the farming share of GDP went down from 51% to 15% was not because of decrease in farmers incomes, but because of increase of service sector and IT.
I don't think you understood the point that was made - the decrease in the farmers share of GDP is because of the rise in other sectors such as service and IT and medicine and technology as you pointed out correctly ( the video says the same thing)- this means that the economy has grown and so has inflation BUT the farmers have not grown competitively - therefore they are struggling to make ends meet!
@@vegeteriancannibal No most farmers are in better than shape then they were 50 years ago it is just that after liberalisation some of our economic sectors experienced rapid growth
@@vegeteriancannibal Bruh, farming in the US is a fairly small part of our GDP, having a diversified economy is a good thing. The market hasn't shrunk but expanded beyond the capability of current farming in India. Small scale, low acreage farming is inherently inefficient and causes food the be more expensive. The deregulation isn't bad, and the farmers can always join a co-op and use that as a "union" of sorts to get good prices. Of course, this means that less people will likely farm and there will be higher acreage, lowering the prices of food. In the long run its a good thing, though I think it should've happened earlier.
@@TheWizardGamez what if only 1 person owes every company , every indusrty , so according to you , it's products will be very cheap because profit has not to be divideable to many owners , but then maybe you will be one of them who starved of food just because you don't have enough money to buy so-called ' cheap ' food.
Today most of the small farmers do farming and goes to work somewhere in factory for daily expenses. This is reality
Farmers should not be poor. They feed us. Without them we will starve.

This Protest is soley in Punjab because it's Politically Motivated
@@joshikhushchintan5661 well you can say that and also I don’t have the statistics to prove the disagreement of the farmers but as a Farmer myself, we are suffering.
@@danchristian8751 don't listen to this person , farmers believe that few businesses will exploit them and sell it to common man at high price , and even storage limit is removed that means big giants can store whatever they want and privates before used to buy from government, people who hoard grains in double digit ton , then government USED to raid that godown , now nothing , minimum support price is removed , these 3 laws will make farmers more vulnerable to exploitation than betterment of their situation, she is saying that only 2 places it is concentrated , no , its because punjab , haryana, western uttar pradesh is the bread baskets of india and farmer are rich here , they have farmer leaders and unions here , but its influence spread to West bengal, Maharashtra, etc .

@@raphaelbrito17 oh i get it now, it really affects how the certain area in India is concentrated with economic players and it's geographical location. These views resulted into contradicting points. Thank you for clarifying, I have now attained additional knowledge about the Agricultural Sector of India.
The same fate happened to Australian farmers, deregulation of the dairy market in the 2000s with milk prices, the small size farms could not make ends meet against the big corporations who have dominance on pricing. From 88% in Victoria state in 1983 with deregulation in the 2000s to just 33 % now as dairy farms collapsed. Minimum Support Price also is not mentioned in the law bills, so it can turn too horrible for farmers.
Aren't Australian farmers the most prosperous in the world?
@@rightlibertarian8355 I was speaking about changes in the farming market as I for example used the past examples of deregulation in the Australian milk production market in early 2000'a. It can be safely applied to India. In Australia, before the deregulation laws, there were a lot more milk-producing small farms, but they went bust when the deregulation laws were confirmed as big corporations had unfair dominance considering the three new laws for India. The same thing is going to happen in India with small farms be it dairy, fruit, or vegetable growers for example as big corporations will take over and small number farmer count will shrink as in the first example.
India produces more food than it needs, still many people sleep hungry
Same as the US.
capitalism
Because of the corrupt ministers..
Go to Pakistan, you Pakistani
capitalism babyyy
This is what happened during the American Dust Bowl. Family farms disappeared, now it's all corporations farming. Except there was no way to protest because the country was starving
@Harshdeep Singh Land ceiling laws prevent that!
@@8bhushan8 Land reforms were never implemented in most Indian states. Just look at the data on land holding distribution across various castes in India. This is the one of the reasons why left wing extremism started. The upper caste people have been able to use their reach and influence to protect their land when land reforms were implemented back then. I hope the govt. protects farmers who are on subsistence farming professions with marginal land holdings coz they r the one who r mostly vulnerable others need to diversify their practices.
And the quality of life of these farmer families and socity is general have increased greatly since corporations do the most farming
@@8bhushan8 things will change if the new farm laws are followed in few years.
@@8bhushan8 Yeah the bill is alright, but the problem is with the time it is being implemented. India is still a developing country and much of the population lives on a below average wage, especially the farmers, so this new system won’t work now, but, when the people, including the farmers, gets richer in the future, this bill will be needed and should be implemented then, not right now.
For anyone wondering what Happened to the Protest. Despite of many problems and hardships the protest continued and Finally the Government Withdrew all 3 Farms laws.... The Farmers Won!!
Has Vox covered the role of middlemen in the previous laws and how they squeeze the farmers and how the new laws take them out of this squeeze. If not covered then it is sony propoganda. Both views should be given

2:16 “open auctions with transparent pricing” this is the whole issue. Neither the auctions are open nor the pricing transparent. The arthias (dealers) group up in each mandi and decide a common highest bid, above which no other arthia will go. Ground reality is very different then theory. The arthias are bullies. And their is no real oversight in the mandis. The people who are meant to actually overlook the functioning of mandi and protect the farmers do the exact opposite. They team up with the arthias or more precisely, they issue the arthia license only to their family members/relatives to gain monopoly over the market.

Suppose in bihar farmer is getting Rs 1400/100 kg msp and where as punjab and haryana have high msp Rs1800/100kg as both states are highly dependent on agriculture and they need a good support from state govt so they got high MSP. After those bills they will be a chaos if govt gove Rs1500/100kg the bihar famers will get benefit and they will be happy but what about the haryana and punjab farmers they are in loss of Rs 300/ 100kg. When the whole country dependent majorly on 2 states there are many things for them which they dont want to change. With privatization there will be benefit in short period but after some time the farmers will be abused and there will be a dictatorship of private companies as farmers will not get others means to sell without aadhti or mandis.

vox doesn't tell you entire story. How do I know? I am from farmer family. It has left out the information that I don't have the freedom to sell my own crops to anyone I want to. I am sick to my mandi only. This new law removed that condition and gives me freedom.
Why aren't farmers from other parts of India protesting? Punjab and haryana farmers have a real good established market. We don't. Its not the farmers but their governments have issue. In all fairness, it should be addressed too.
Wonder why. Vox left that piece of information....
The real problem is there are to many farmers in india for it to be sustainable. The average farmer in india works a insanely small amount of land to be cost efficient.
The main reason this isn't cost effective is because the Green Revolution and globalization shifted the Indian agriculture market away from from subsistence farming towards a predominantly export market (big emphasis on export grains). Because of this, farmers and communities can't survive on what they grow and there is less contribution to local economies. Small land holdings aren't inherently uneconomic but globalization has made it so unfortunately

This is what is happening
@mrandhawa In the APMCs there is no auction. The middlemen have a cartel over there and then procure crops below MSP and then sell above MSP. The farmers can't sell in any other districts according to law. Now it is not like tht farmers can sell to anybody they want at whatever price they want and wherever they want. What is wrong in this. And whatever the govt used to procure usually rots in the warehouses so what is wrong in tht

I noticed a little flaw, Income in farming sector has not reduced but it's value in GDP has decreased due to rapid growth of Service sector and Industrial sector. Production and income in Farming has increased its only its share in GDP that decreased.
This is not a little flaw; glaring error. Based on this flaw, the host said farm income has gone down.

Ur service and industrial sector showed its true colors during covid pandemic, whereas farming kept the GDP in positive direction.
@@randhawaz1 yes Our Manufacturing output went down but Our IT sector was Still very active, but it didn't contribute much to the Exporting sector because domestic need for those services increased, yes But Agricultural output Was increased but It didn't help in keeping the GDP in Positive Direction, you are wrong here, Our GDP still went in Negative Direction and Farming sector can't do much as they don't contribute much to the Indian Economy.
@@jagadeeshdomalapelli487 When u say agriculture does not contribute much to the GDP. It contributes about 20% of gdp and provides employment to 60% population of this nation. U cannot dismiss agricultural as insignificant as Thatz where ur food on the table u eat comes from. The flaw is in the mindset of the business class and people like u who think all u gotta do in farming is sow the seed and water and wait patiently for it to grow. It’s about lifestyle. The service and manufacturing sector wants slaves with low pay to work in the factories and Thatz why they want people to exit doing farming and move to cities to work in these service and manufacturing sector. People of our nation are agrarian, they would not allow agriculture in the hands of corporates that manipulate in increasing the prices of food for future generations and control the population by controlling the food sector. Thatz the fight.

Thanks for your kind wishes and support. But what is shown in this video is half truth. Not sure of Vox agenda, but it sure hides information.
I am a farmer and let me explain you. I am not allowed to sell my own crops in any market of my choice. I am forced to sell in the market that is linked to my area. I may be in the border of a district and the market of other district could be nearer but I am not allowed to sell there. I cannot sell my crops outside of market to anyone. Although Vox shows "regulated market" it doesn't mention that i an bound to only one market. Impressive right?
Now the new rule has removed that condition. I can sell it to either that market or to a corporation or anywhere else. Now you decide whether its good or bad. And 2 states out of 28 states are against this, there is a reason for that also. . And the rule should make changes to include those 2 states also.

What can be done here is let them have their system for now while rest of India can benefit from the new reforms, that can work for all of us.
So yeah, instead of middlemen, now the money will go to corporations, who as you might imagine, might not have the best interests of farmers in mind. We all know how unregulated capitalist societies collapse upon themselves. Do you wanna give private, large corporations that kind of power. I don't understand how the new laws are supposed to be better.
@@nileshkharat236 Actually corporates in agriculture is not new, even we give sections of land for pepsi potatoes, they give contract and bear the expenses even if there are issues with the harvest, and they take entire yeild for their potato chips and we don't even have to bear expences for storage. If more corporates get in contracts and we get more contracts I don't have to worry about spoilage or storage and loss would be less. So I feel the current issue is just misguided, it's only going to benefit in the long run, Manmohan Singh was going to make these reforms long back but didn't get passed and it would have better it would have been done back then, the entire system would have evolved and settled by now. But better late than never.

Do you understand that the share of farming in GDP also decreased due to increased industrialization in India. Indian GDP grew a lot since 1990 but the farming income didn’t grow at the same high rate, reducing the share of farming. It doesn’t directly mean that the farming income reduced!!
They are not telling that the added a NEW law which told "Farmers can sell goods directly to the market than through someone" which means that middlemen are not needed ( the farmers were exploited by middlemen because the middlemen buy from farmers at very low cost , and then hyperinflate the price when selling the goods in the markets) The protest is not about farmers, Farmers are happy but the middle men were unemployed after this law the middlemen are protesting. They were ILLEGALY working and exploiting them
its the first step, later corporates will enter. No one thinks about poor for your kind info, poor remain poor because they are exploited greatly

There are so many loopholes in this video. Being an Indian, I am just pointing out a few:
3:27 - Bihar's agricultural growth has been greater than Punjab post-2006 reforms.
3:50 - Indian economy has boosted overall, reducing agriculture's share. Agricultural produce has been constantly increasing.
5:10 - It is my humble opinion that corporates should not be demonized. Indian agriculture is in dire need of innovation and infrastructure that these corporates can invest in.
6:04 - There is a provision in the Act that if prices increase by over 50%, govt can intervene

For those who don't know about anything, it's all about 3 issues
1. Fear regarding MSP ( Minimum Support Price)
2. Commercialization of agriculture
3. Mandi System
No here is the correct list:
1. MSP won’t be supported
2. Commission agents (and levys that state imposes to skim off the proceeds)
3. Mono-cropping to just wheat and rice that have highest MSP set.
4. Lack of industry in Punjab compared to other states
4. Decreasing revenue contribution of Punjab to center kitty as farm income is not taxed.
Other states and center like the farm bills:
1. Center does not need to support MSP for ever for unlimited and ever increasing produce from Punjab, Haryana, AndhraPradesh etc.
2. Other states contribution of industrial tax revenue and sales taxes to the center kitty is not being returned back
3. Other states suffered poverty for long only to see center just eating away and not returning money for projects and development.
4. Punjab farmers are supported at the expense of other workers while not contributing to tax revenue.
5. Too much produce than what India consumes. Center does not know what to do by purchasing this much. Prices are low because of oversupply.
Nice of you to not mention most of the protestors are rice farmers from Punjab and Haryana that only grow it for it's higher MSP.
The farming went from 50% of economy to 15%, this is a result of growth in other sectors like IT and manufacturing (to name a few) not that farming has declined in contrast it might have increased in overall due to modern farm tech.
I think he they meant by 15% is that, farming couldn't keep up with growth of other sectors. But as other sectors grew, the peoples of other sectors are spending more money and increasing prices of all goods.
As farmers are lagging behind, they don't have the same amount of buying power they had with almost the same amount of money they earned in the 60s.
Stay strong my Indian Brothers and Sisters, you're an inspiration to the world. Your courage should be an example to the rest of the world.

Taking some highlighted portions from the three acts and presenting a narrative- You made a good video under 8 minutes but it only covers partial facts. These 3 farm laws cannot affect MSP system which is not bound by any legal provisions. It is a policy of the government and MSP has only increased in India over the years. APMC has legal backing and it’s passed by State Legislators. This central law cannot nullify that. Also if MSP is guaranteed in APMC, why would someone sell out of it? What percentage of Farmers have APMC coverage? Apmcs does not cover an entire state and some states doesn’t have Apmc acts.
The corporates cannot enter the market as they wish. They are subject to Rules to be framed under these acts by centre and states.
Deregulation and neoliberalisation also caused the famine of Ireland in 1845
Yep, mostly caused by major demand from the United Kingdom and no protection of local economy. This also happened in India during world war 2.
A few days ago, i actually went down to the places where the farmers have blocked the roads. Its not a joke. Although they have set up a sort of camp and there are many people serving free food (langar) to anyone and everyone who needs it, it is not like they are enjoying it. Their whole lives have been shattered. The government is not listening yet.....
Indra Sena the new laws are depended upon on the honesty of corporates and we’ll discuss need to elaborate😅
Thats what governments and politicians do , never listen to the people who voted them in.
Mandis are regulated by the Govt. Then how they will collapse if the Govt ensures and agrees on giving written assurance on MSP? 50% of India is directly or indirectly linked with agriculture then why would the Govt take harsh steps in favour of Corporates? They would in return get shortage in Tax collections if they do so. Also not to mention that such reforms were being waited for too long, the Congress has it in manifesto for 2019 General elections then why they are opposing it now?
@@eternalks6872 Can you please clarify
1. Agriculture is a state subject as part of the Indian Constitution. So why is the government using provision 33 in the concurrent list to pass this bill?
2. Ordinance is used during unprecedented times like war why the government brought these bills as an ordinance when the parliament was not in session. What was the urgency?
3. What is the need for another parallel market to the existing APMC mandis? If you think APMC mandis are inefficient with arthiyas, bring reforms to the current system to streamline instead of introducing a private market.
4. Government is saying we are not taking away APMC and MSP but a new private marketplace where you can sell anywhere in India. When Jio came into the market, they offered SIMs free of cost. After finishing the competition, they raised rates. Similarly, Jio finished BSNL. Current APMC and MSP are waiting to meet the same fate. In the first few years, corporates will pay a higher price than MSP. This will make Mandis and MSP redundant and finally going away like BSNL. Now corporates will define the price. This happened in Bihar in 2006 to give you an example.
5. BJP, in their 2014 and 2019 manifesto, promised to implement the Swaminathan report, which will allow farmers to get C2+50% on 23 crops. What happened to that manifesto.
6. What are the regulations of the new digital exchange they proposed in Bill#1. Details are missing. Who will manage this exchange? E.g., the Stock market has SEBI as a regulatory agency. Which agency will drive this new market? What are the rules and regulations?
7. Bill#2 - In contract farming, corporates can mortgage farmer’s land. Why?
8. Farmers can't go to civil court in case of a dispute. Why?
9. Bill #3 - Essential commodity act. Now the hoarding is allowed, which was illegal before. Since corporates are already building weather-controlled silos to store grains and vegetables, as a simple demand-supply economy, corporates will create artificial demand, and prices of commodities will go up. We have seen this as an example of onion prices going up in the past.
10. With unlimited storage, this will allow corporates to export, taking supply away from the local market again, making prices go up. There are no regulations around buffer size for corporates to maintain.
11. If the government defines MSP at which farmer can sell their crop, why they don't determine the maximum selling price for corporates. In Madhya Pradesh, potatoes sold for 8 rupees were sold in the malls for 80 rupees. 10x markup. Let the government say you can only sell for 2-3x. The regulations should apply to both farmers and corporates. Why corporates get preferential treatment?
@Indra Sena yes competition not monopoly. By setting fair ground for farmers not just for two big houses. It should have been announced for all and long term plan should have been made to slowly bring reforms consensus based reforms while protecting farmers interest as well.
Use you’re people power our Indian friends. You’re leader must be in wrong plan about this
Philipines loves india 🇵🇭🇮🇳
Well tbh he isn't. The laws are good and many states have already applied them on their agricultural business
The Indian media doesn't show this either, I really hope yall make out through this real soon. Lots of love and blessings from the PAK 🇵🇰
They show this daily. Kch v bol rha bhaii
Khud k ghr ne nhi dana chle dene dusre ko tana
Yes,They don't show truth.
Bad politics against farmers of any nation is one of the cheapest act.
What's wrong with this free market policy?
@@haiontop these socialists have been hooked with subsidies and everything free free free they will never understand.

The video explains everything.
@Arup Ratan Mitra if govt keeps favouring farmers people won't move out of villages and farming to develop cities
@@siddharthjain9611 is your IQ sub zero? who will farm then? Unless you bring robots (although in India?😂😂 Lol at least not in next 100yrs)
Why there are protests only in two states not the whole country you need to think once before blaming the government
Search this " 86% farmers supported now-repealed farm laws, finds Supreme Court-appointed panel "
For Indian Farm Protest and do justice to your audience.
You should have shown how these laws were passed in the parliament, totally undemocratic
How is it undemocratic?
Yeah throwing shoes/papers on speaker right?
@Position King No. Not in rajya sabha.

My grandpa was from India.
My father a farmer in Mauritius.
I respect farmers and their work and how they feed us.
We need to show respect and say thank you to farmers who have kept us from starving.
I am going into farming when I retire.
Right I agree, but no one should be above the law, The Punjabi Farmers are the most corrupt of Indian farmers says R.S. Deshpande, Indian agriculture Policy Specialist and Former director of the Institute for Social and Economic Change. Also, the way these farmers have blocked roads in Delhi, not respecting (Wuhan Virus) Pandemic prevention measures and creating havoc for people in Delhi for weeks are not a sign of good farmer action and for these, I do not sympathise with them and so should you, if you reject anarchy.

@@h1g2a3r4 These guys are India's proud boys my fellow brothers and sisters of the world.
@@h1g2a3r4 There is a reason they are protesting. Farmers aren't blocking streets for no reason.
@@sdesigan85 you know that opposition party is also paying for jobless people to protest right??? I had my plan to travel to Banglore but is being blocked and can't travel due to this protests in my state and normal people,shop workers are affected by this protest and I asked my friend(who's father is farmer) and they're saying this is actually helpful towards them and these protests are helpful towards 3rd party(who eat most farmer's money)this rule is against them so they are against new rules which connects farmers directly with sellers without 3rd party and can get more money...
This is the way they make hardworking people work on as less pay as possible for the rich people. Farmers lose their farming land and forced to use the only skill they know just to survive.
How do they lose their land? Koi Act mein h kya?
Yes - that is the final objective
Cheap landless labor for industrialists
Just to clarify something for myself: Were these new reforms known before or at the elections of 2019?
@Holy Chicken thank you for clarifying
No, these reforms were made in 2020 and the reforms were also not discussed with the farmers.
