Ye margin sirf Bicholiye kha jaate hain,Kisaan fhir gareeb ka gareeb rahta hai. Hum nokri pesha log har saal salary increment ki dimaand karte hain or 15-50 percent ka monthly increment hume mil jaata hai , lekin kisaan ko uski mehnat (Fasal) ka yearly 10 percent bhi increment nahi milta.Hum loan lekar makaan , car,AC lete hain or kisaan Makaan, Khet Khaliyaan girvi rakh kar humaare liye fasal ugaata hai.Hum apni sukh suvidhaon ke liye kharch karte hain or kisaan apni jaroorton ka gala ghont kar fasal pe paise lagata hai....That is the ground realty in this Krishi Pradhaan countryvipinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573118054573287537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-51455187243981583862011-09-23T11:27:57.710+05:302011-09-23T11:27:57.710+05:30kisano ke hit me sochne ke liye samay kis ke pas h...kisano ke hit me sochne ke liye samay kis ke pas hai? Krishi mantralay ho ya mananiya pradhan mantri. lagbhag do salon se chali aa rahit khadya mulyon ke mahangai ko rokne me asamarth sarkari tantra simant awanm chote kisano ki duhayi dete aa rahen hai. Parantu iss mahangai ka labh inko mil raha ya nahi iski sudh kisko hai-duhai dene walo ko ya vyapari sanghon ko? Devendar ji ne apne lekh mein yeh bilkul spasth kar diya hai ki hamare desh ka smajavad kiske liye hai. niryat ka vikalp acha jab hai jab utpadakon ko bhi vishwa ke achhe dam ka labh mil sake. Niryatk ab kisano ko yeh dalil denge ki MEP badh gaya hai jo sarkar ke rajaswa me ja raha hai aur woh apani asamarththata batayenge.<br />Isi sandarbh mein main ek aur vichitra mudda rakhna chahunga. 2009 se ab tak khadya mahangai dar awanm khadya processing sector ke vridhhi dar me samanta koi asmanjas nahi hai. Iske sath sath 2007 me simant awanm chote kisan to duhai dete huwe warehousing receipt (WR) ko kanooni manyata pradan kardi gai. Parantu khadya mantralaya iske bare be thos ankade nahi de pa rahi. Karan ddhoondna koi rocket science nahi hai. Dvendar ji ne inko spashta kar diya hai.<br />Ek tisra pahloo bhi is khadya mahangai ke liye hai. Aur woh hai antarrashtriya dabab. Is dabab mein gidad bhapki ka prayog bhi ho raha hai. Hal hi me WTO ke DSB ne China ke khanij niryat par lok apana phaisala diya ki china niryat par rok nahi laga sakta hai. Hamare naukar sah aur neta is bat ko bhali bhanti smajhte hai ki cheen ka sandarbh bharath ke sandhrbh se bilkul alag hai. Pranatu jab miyan bib rakji kya karega bechara kisan.<br />Han panchwe sal loktantra ke hath ek bar phir apana karthab dikha sakthe hain. Yeh meri kamna matra nahi nahi hai.<br />Prof. J.

Here're some more numbers ...Excellent analysis. Here're some more numbers to back your analysis:<br /><br />Year 2008-09 <br />Onion production: 13.56 million tonnes<br />Fresh onion export: 1.67 million tonnes<br />Raw onion that is dried and exported: 0.19 million tonnes<br />Total raw onions feeding into exports: 1.86 milion tonnes or approximately 14 percent of the country's production, which is huge for any single commodity. This naturally makes exporters a very powerful lobby. And when exporter join hands with hoarders (in many cases they are the same), they are unstopable. This is what has happened this year as I found during my tour of APMC mandis earlier this year.<br /> <br />Q. Who wants ban on onion exports?<br />A. Govt. because it wants it to cool down prices and dried onion exporters as they are unviable if price paid to farmer goes above Rs. 10/kg. <br /> <br />Q. Who don't want a ban on exports?<br />A. Farmers, hoarders, exporters. The latter two work in tandem while the former plays into their hands with the false hope that s/he would get a higher price. Exporter gains from higher international prices, hoarder from temporary spike in domestic prices, which is why both do not want a ban on exports. Between the two, hoarders gain more as opening up exports gives them a legitimate reason to further jack-up prices by claiming supply constraints. The farmer, as usual, goes back home with barely 2.5 percent of the retail price of his/her produce.<br /> <br />Q. Why does the government ban exports?<br />A. Because it does not want to act against hoarders. Free market principles does not regard hoarding as illegal and the govt. is following them. On the other hand, the same govt. goes against free market principles and bans exports to increase supply into domestic markets and cool prices because this is politically more palatable and is also easier to enforce. <br /> <br />Q. Does this work in principle?<br />A. At times it does. The price-crisis period is generally during Sep-Oct and this is when hoarders make a killing. Kharif onion has higher moisture content as compared to Rabi onion and therefore the shelf life is less. Due to this reason exporters also compete against hoarders during this period as they want to ship out their stocks before they spoil. <br /> <br />Q. Why did Pawar open exports this year?<br />A. One, lobbying by exporters-hoarders lobby. Two, even as I am writing this, farmers in Nasik district are sitting on roadsides with piles of onion which they are unable to sell at anything more than Rs. 2/kg (I have asked a consultant out there to take a few pics and mail them over. Will share them as they arrive); Pawar does not wish to be pelted with onions second time in a row. Politics rather than a non-existent supply-demand mismatch is what dictated the govt.'s hands. <br /> <br />Q. Will farmers now gain since exports have been cleared?<br />A. Nope. They will still be forced to sell their produce at Rs. 2/kg or marginally higher.<br /><br />Bhaskar Goswami <br />New DelhiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
