Farmers do not have many options to sell their products and are forced to sell their produce in government mandis. Due to this, many times they do not get good prices for their produce. Understanding these problems of farmers, the Madhya Pradesh government has now announced to start mandis and new procurement centers in the private sector. Along with this announcement, the Mandi Act has also changed in the state.
During the discussion on the amendment of mandi rules in the ministry, the Chief Minister of the state Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the government must provide the right price to the farmers. By doing this, the competition will increase and farmers will get direct benefits. This will also provide relief to farmers from brokers and middlemen. Farmers will get many options to sell their crops. The farmer can sell the crop at his convenience wherever he wants.
