    Abstract The 2020 farm laws have been opposed by several farmers due to their possible use for corporate takeover of agriculture, removal of APMC mandis, and dilution of minimum support price and public procurement. This article examines the impact of repealing the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee Act in Bihar in 2006 on the state’s agricultural indicators – as a test case for the potential impact of the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act.

    Abstract Bihar, among the poorest and least industrialized states in India implemented the most far reaching agricultural market reforms in 2006 by removing law (APMC act) that restricted farmers to selling in government regulated markets. With the unmatched radicalness of this reform, its impacts, and implications for farmers, has not been analyzed. Taking the natural experiment of repeal of APMC, we first assess the impacts on market level outcomes employing synthetic control method and find that repeal of APMC act did not lead to increase in market efficiency, reduction in the wholesale-retail price wedge and wholesale prices of food items. Yet, at the farmer level, by uniquely employing panel data on farm harvest prices (FHP) and farming characteristics, we find evidence of impacts on FHP that varies by crop. The DID estimates show that repeal of APMC actually impacted in terms of lower FHP of paddy with a larger negative effect on marginal farmers. FHP of maize, grown mainly for exports to other states and countries and where new entry of buyers took place, was higher possibly because of increased competition among buyers and use of alternate and more direct channels of procurement from farmers that increased marketing efficiency.

    Abstract Under the National Horticulture Mission, protected cultivation is practised in the Pune and Nasik districts of Maharashtra. The cost of protected cultivation of rose and capsicum is over 300% of the cost of open cultivation; the gross return is 250% and net return 190%. Adoption is influenced by age, education, household income, landholding size, and distance to market. The high capital investment and cost of planting materials, and the incidence of pests and diseases were major constraints to adoption. Farmers will continue to adopt protected cultivation depending on their risk-bearing ability and government support.

    Abstract HighlightsA crop suitability index was constructed for the Bundelkhand region of India.The cropping pattern in the region has shifted from cereals to oilseeds and pulses.Nearly 33% more water is needed to meet the total irrigation water requirement of the region.Pearl millet, sesame, and soybean were found to be the most suitable crops for sustainable use of water resources. ABSTRACT.The Bundelkhand region of India is characterized by acute shortages of water due to recurrent failures of the monsoon. This study estimated the water availability, water requirement, and water deficit in the Bundelkhand region using geographic information system (GIS) data. The study identified suitable crops that can be promoted for sustaining the water resources in the region. Total water availability is estimated to be 17.48 billion cubic meters (BCM), of which 91.3% is available for irrigation. The irrigation water deficit is estimated to be 5.31 BCM, which is 1/4 of the crop water requirement. Farmers in the region give high priority to irrigation of water-guzzling cereal crops instead of pulses and oilseed crops, which have lower water requirements. A crop suitability index revealed that pearl millet, sesame, and soybean are the most suitable crops for sustainable use of water resources in the region. An optimum cropping plan to allocate existing land and water resources, coupled with efficient modern technology such as direct-seeded rice, micro-irrigation, etc., can be the best solution to sustain the natural resources and the income of farmers in the study region. Keywords: Bundelkhand, Crop suitability index, Geographical information system, Water.
