In Shajahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, known for its historical significance and agricultural prowess, farmers like the Singh family face challenges despite modernizing their practices. Balwinder Singh, continuing his family’s legacy, highlights the disparity between minimum support prices and actual production costs, advocating for fairer procurement systems. Withholding harvests in anticipation of better prices from private corporations exacerbates market volatility. The ban on wheat exports adds to farmers’ woes, while traditional players like commission agents and small mill owners feel marginalized by corporate dominance.
