Maybe agricultural industry growing but the condition of farmers are very pathetic. They are facing issues with Financial , climate , political , government etc..

Hey my parents are farmers and kinda me too... Indian agriculture depends 3 factors 1) Government policy (33%) 2) market rates (33%) 3) nature/weather (33%) If all 3 works in favour of farmer then you can say farmer is making profit over it's crops other wise he have to bear losses by 33% with each factor turning against it's choices... Recently government banned onions exports which dragged prices of onions from ₹5k/quintal to ₹1200 - ₹2000/quintal so and at the same time due to heavy rain onions got overwatered which decreased their quality by 50 to 70% and due to mud sticked to it's outer layers it smells very bad so we have to manually rub over the thousands of kilos of onions with hands and at the end of the day prices are just only about 1k - 2k/quintal here. Now a farmer have to sell onions anyhow cause it's perishable items are give out the payment received from onions to labour/fertilizer shop/transportation etc. & It's just about one crop 🥺 I've experienced this. 🙏

I recently saw a video, tried understanding the problem, what i observed is that farmers with small land have to incur quite a loss and farmers with huge lands are making some amount at least. I was reading about how msp can affect the agricultural industry. That’s how.

Unfortunately the most underfed sector.

Recognition of the efforts is missing !
