The Farm Laws Repeal Act, 2021

The Farm Laws Repeal Act, 2021 regulates agricultural trade and contracts in India by repealing three 2020 farm acts. These repealed laws governed direct commerce, farm service agreements, price assurances, and essential commodities. The act applies to Indian farmers, agricultural buyers, food processors, retailers, and exporters. It matters because it retracts massive marketing reforms after protests by some farmer groups and a legal stay by the Supreme Court. By undoing these laws, the government aimed to address these protests, prioritize national unity, and ensure that everyone moves together on the path of inclusive growth and development.
