During my tenure, the draft APMC Rules - 2007 were framed for the setting up of special markets thereby providing alternate platforms for farmers to market their commodities and utmost care was also taken to strengthen the existing Mandi system. pic.twitter.com/OstVRxYVqD

On Sunday, the present agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar responded to Pawar's critique of the new farm laws.He also tweet his replies. He said that under new ecosystem, mandis are not affected. Instead, they will be more competitive and cost effective in terms of services and infrastructure; and both the systems will synergistically co-exist for the common interest of farmers.Taking a swipe at the NCP chief, Narendra Singh Tomar said, "As he is such a veteran leader, I would like to believe that he was genuinely misinformed of the facts. He went on to add, "New Laws facilitate promotion of additional choice channel for farmers with choice to sell their produce to anyone, anywhere with hassle free movement in & outside the state to realize competitive & better net price for their produce. This doesn't affect the current MSP system."
Since he speaks with some experience and expertise on the issue, it was dismaying to see his tweets employ a mix of ignorance & misinformation on the agriculture reforms. Let me take this opportunity to present some facts. pic.twitter.com/8CZ1AzKYoR
