Addressing the media, Dr. Nirmal Kumar, Chairman, Technology Transfer Department of the Institute said that the Essential Commodities Act 2020 has already been strengthened and the provision for purchase of agricultural products under contract farming has been legalized. Dr. Kumar informed that now primary agricultural marketing centers will not have a monopoly and market fees, taxes etc. will be reduced and farmers will get fair price. Food Corporation of India and other government agencies will continue to undo the purchase of agricultural products.
