There is attention, rightly, on high food prices. However, how much actually reaches farmers? Studies show dis-intermediation gains of 25-30 per cent, with farmers obtaining higher prices without consumers paying more. How much of the dis-intermediation agenda has any government followed? It has happened for fruits and vegetables more by default and never for food-grains. Since Delhi is visible and elections are due here too, how about the UPA demonstrating its commitment to farmers by breaking the agro distribution chain in Delhi as a pilot case? It is then that one realises these distribution chains are controlled by the lower rungs of political parties. There is a land market issue too, not to be confused with removing caps on ownership, since one can legalise tenancy without changing ceilings. Will we hear any of this in the campaign for the 15th Lok Sabha?
