Congress, in its memorandum, called these “black laws” which had been brought in by the Narendra Modi government to give select corporates the power to control the country’s agriculture sector.
It would destroy the APMC structure and leave farmers with little choice but to sell to companies, and also deny cultivators minimum support price for their produce, the party said.
