One claim that has really caught my eye is that APMCs (the public and MSP is not going anywhere since the law enacts a parallel structure without touching the existing one. However the world runs on economic incentives which will be against APMCs. Farmers understand that but I believe the general public at large has been oblivious to this.
So I created knowyourkisaan.com as a weekend project. It is a simulation of the predatory pricing strategy used by private players with deep pockets can ruin the competition in the agricultural market . The concept is oversimplified for the purpose of this simulation (so that people can get back to important stuff like arguing on twitter ). I’m neither an economist nor a designer so things can be off and I would love to hear feedback.
