Since selling and buying of farm produce can be conducted with just a PAN card, farmers will stand to benefit from liberalisation of sale of farm produce anywhere in their respective states. If the farmer chooses to sell in the APMC yard, they can still sell it.And as far as contract farming is concerned, the act does not have any punishments/fines for farmers not abiding by the contract. Corporates or any other entities cannot take over lands or the crops if the farmer does not abide by the terms. He also mentioned to keep the APMC system alive so as to have a competitive market in the region. Overall he said that these laws are good for the farmers community and for corporates, because they can involve in free trade openly across India.
