The Farmers (Empowerment And Protection) Agreement On Price Assurance And Farm Services (Rajasthan Amendment) Act, 2020
General20208 sections
This law amends the central Farmers Agreement Act specifically for the state of Rajasthan. It updates definitions to include local terms like the APMC Act and Market Committee, and clarifies that farming agreements must pay farmers at least the Minimum Support Price to be valid. The Act also states that market fees should be paid by the sponsor, not the farmer, and establishes a dispute resolution process where local market committees handle initial complaints and the Director handles appeals. This ensures fairer trading and clearer legal protections for farmers in the state.
