In agriculture, the cultivable area is shrinking. The farmers are not coming
forward to cultivate their lands due to many factors. Input cost is increasing due to
non-availability of labour, failure of monsoon, depleting water table etc. The
Government may quote figures in its favour, whereas the ground reality is
different. Middlemen swallow the profit at the cost of farmers. The Government
could think of giving freedom to farmers to sell their products directly to the
consumers without the role of the middlemen. Then only the farmers can able to
get remunerative prices for their produces. Whenever the farmers are getting the
remunerative prices the rise in the prices of essential commodities will come down.
This is the only way to save the common man from the clutches of price rise.
