Nice article. There are bound to be teething issues in any new beginning. Hopefully things will fall in place in the next 4-5 years. Middlemen will also be a part of the ecosystem, maybe with some other name and form. Btw, should it be 39 instead of 38 in point no. 54?

A great article to understand the issue. Until now, i was not aware of the complete role the so-called middle man plays in the whole process. The middle man has always been given the villain role in the film called Indian Agriculture. The solution that i had in mind before this is a big investment into warehouses at the micro level which will give the farmer more control on when s/he wants to sell. Clearly, that alone will not suffice.
