According to the report, the prime minister believes that the new farm bill will close the gap between agriculture and its allied business sectors. On Saturday, he said that if unnecessary barriers were created in a business sector, it could never develop on its own.
Narendra Modi said that there are invisible walls between different business sectors dependent on agriculture like agricultural infrastructure, food processing, crop storage, etc. As a result of the new law, that wall has been removed. So the new agriculture law will open up new avenues for farmers. It will deliver new technology and market. Farmers in the country will benefit the most from this.
Modi added that the wall has no place in Indian trade. Bridges are needed, which will create a link between them. In his words, “The country has so far had the lowest private investment in agriculture. The new law will also allow large private investment in agriculture, which will make the sector larger.
