The Friday's tranche of announcement focused mainly on farm sector reforms which is applauding. Around rs 1 lakh crores Agriculture infrastructure fund was being announced to fund for farm gate infra for farmers.
From gate generally means a farmer can make the direct delivery to the companies or organizations even after a long storage of food. By it a farmer can escape of selling it to customers or markets at lesser rates.
Highlights of the reforms

  • Imputes for development of farm gate and aggregation point, affordable and financially visible post harvest Management infrastructure.
  • Rs. 10000cr Scheme for MICRO FOOD ENTERPRISES that will promote PM MODI's vision of "vocal for local with global outreach"
  • Cluster based approach in different regions on signatures produce.
  • Operation green will be extended.
  • Amendments of essential commodities Act to enable better price realization for farmers.
These reforms to enhance marketing freedom is a welcome step. Equality in the farmer's investment and return should definitely exists.
It's late but if these changes implemented properly then for sure it will give boost to the livelihoods of the farmers.
