So who will buy the more expensive imported edible items. For those products that are not available in India - YES it makes sense to import or for a niche product for e..g Since the last 10-11 years Apples from US were imported and sold at a premuim - that has not brought down the sale of Indian Apples - They are being sold - and exported as well. | ||

rice Is this economically possible? High quality Rice is sold by the Indian farmer for Rs.15 a Kilo. Can a farmer from China produce and sell it at less than Rs.15 per kilo? Indian potatoes are the cheapest in the world.... Costing less than half a euro in the Indian market after a 300% markup to the middleman and the retailer. In europe with a less then 50% markup the same potatoes(produced in Europe)cost 80 Cents - 1.3 Euro a KG. So will buy the more expensive imported edible items? | ||

And talking specifically of the farmer - to the big farmer it(FDI in retail) does not make any difference - Big farmer in India is too influential....and dictates policy making......and they always sell to the Govt at MSP | ||

Each country has it's market and societal dynamics and comparision across markets is not apt. FDI in retail has some obvious advantages and some not so obvious disadvantages. However it definitely is not a magic wand to suddenly prop up the economy.Nor ill it bring in a radical change in the poverty levels or the GDP figures. Dissociate yourself from this FDI as ask yourself the foll questions Is contract farming good for the small farmer? Is there a need to bring at least a part of the majority of the black transactions in Agriculture into the real economy (white economy in common parlance)? Is there a need to account for all retail cash transactions (Last mile - Kirana - Door Step transactions)and tax them? Is there a need to provide export markets to our farmers and expose them to technology? | ||

WORST PART: --Misdirection of welfare schemes, agricultural subsidies and assistance. "As AP's scrutiny of over 22 million USDA subsidy amount cheques showed: "63 per cent of the money went to the top 10 per cent of recipients" Among those struggling farmsteads receiving huge sums of money were "at least 20 Fortune 500 companies." Also billionaires like David Rockefeller (with a farm in the same Hudson Valley where Pawelski lives). Others getting farm subsidies that year included media mogul Ted Turner and basketball star Scottie Pippen. And prison farms got a cut, too." | ||

The points I could make out were: -- retail chain stores dictating to the farmers "The size is set by the retail chain stores. They dictate almost everything." -- Encouraging a culture of waste in a country with problem of scarcity. "..The more you waste, the more you will buy.. The stores know this. So wastage is a strategy, not a by-product." --Business interests overrules populism in legislature. "But he's hopelessly outgunned. Large corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying to ensure agriculture remains their captive." | ||

Knowing your onions in New York The entire U.S. agrarian structure and policy is geared towards serving the corporate sector and against small family farms “My onions are big, aren’t they?†Chris Pawelski asked our group of visitors at his farm 60 miles from New York City. “Any idea why?†Because of consumer demand, we wondered? Perhaps bigger bulbs caught the customer’s eye better? “Nope,†said Pawelski, a fourth-generation farmer whose family arrived from Poland in 1903 and has worked this land for over a century. “The size is set by the retail chain stores. They dictate almost everything.†That “almost everything†includes prices. While the Walmarts, Shop Rites and other chain stores sell his kind of onions for $1.49 to $1.89 a pound, Pawelski himself gets no more than 17 cents. And that’s an improvement. Between 1983 and 2010, the average price he got stayed around 12 cents a pound. “They want this size because they know you won’t use more than half of one of these in cooking a meal. And you’ll throw away the other half. The more you waste, the more you’ll buy.†The stores know this. So wastage is a strategy, not a by-product. It’s not just the chain stores, however, that work against this exuberant and proud small farmer. Floods, hail and Hurricane Irene, have all claimed a toll. In 2009, he suffered crop losses of $1,15,000 but received just $6,000 from crop insurance. Far less than the $10,000 he had shelled out as premium. The losses drove the farm, which rests on some of the most fertile “muck soil†in the country, into debt. Pawelski is a battler who has taken his cause to Capitol Hill. “I go maybe three times a year,†he says. And he’s met maybe “20-30 Congressmen and 10-12 Senators,†building up some selling skills in the process. Perhaps the Master’s in Communication helped. But he’s hopelessly outgunned. Large corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying to ensure agriculture remains their captive. A lot of that gets spent when the “Farm Bill†comes up every five years. An Associated Press (AP) investigation in 2001 showed where the (public) money goes. Even if structured differently since then, the grip of the corporate world and the very rich remains firm. As AP’s scrutiny of over 22 million USDA cheques showed: “63 per cent of the money went to the top 10 per cent of recipients…†Among those struggling farmsteads receiving huge sums of money were “at least 20 Fortune 500 companies.†Also billionaires like David Rockefeller (with a farm in the same Hudson Valley where Pawelski lives). Others getting farm subsidies that year included media mogul Ted Turner and basketball star Scottie Pippen. And prison farms got a cut, too. |
