In September 2020, Parliament had passed three bills to free up pricing, production and trade in agriculture through ways like contract farming, letting farmers sell their products whenever they want instead of limiting them to government-controlled mandis. Farmers were concerned about the laws as they broke the trust of agriculture produce marketing committees (APMC); they feared that it would lead to the corporatisation of agriculture and indicate the end of the minimum support price (MSP) system.
