New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the new farm laws will help bring down barriers between agricultural and associated sectors, creating new markets for farmers who will gain from technological advances and investments.

The government, the PM said, is committed to protecting the interest and welfare of farmers through its policies and actions. “Reforms will help draw investment in the agriculture sector and benefit farmers. The aim of all government reforms is to make farmers prosperous” he said at the annual meeting of industry body FICCI here, news agency PTI reported.

“Agriculture and its related sectors such as agricultural infrastructure, food processing, storage, cold chains had seen walls between them. Now, these walls are being removed. These reforms will give farmers new markets, advantages of technology, and help bring investments. It is my country’s farmers who will benefit the most from all this,” he was quoted as saying.

“Now farmers have the option of selling their produce in mandis as well as to outside parties. These efforts are aimed increasing farmers’ incomes,” he said.

“All these efforts are directed towards improving the farmers’ income so that they become prosperous. When farmers prosper, the country will prosper,” he added.

“After the implementation of recent reforms, farmers will get new markets and new opportunities and they will get the help of technology. The country’s cold storage infrastructure will become modern,” he said.

“From all these, there will be higher investment in the agriculture sector. The maximum benefit of these reforms would be to small and marginal farmers who earn there living on small plots of land,” he added.
