On 20 September, two agricultural bills were passed in the Rajya Sabha. The first is the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce Bill 2020 and the second is the Farmers Price Assurance Agreement and Agreement on Agricultural Services Bill-2020.

The proposed law would allow farmers to sell their produce outside the mandis. Its goal is to provide remunerative prices to farmers for their produce through competitive alternative trade channels. Under this law, farmers will not be charged for the sale of their produce.

This bill will reduce the expenses incurred in selling their produce to the farmers and will also help them get better prices for the produce. With the help of this bill, farmers of those areas where there is more production will be able to get better prices by selling their agricultural produce in other regions of low production.
