It is heartening to note that Government has recognised the need for overcoming shortcomings in distribution and marketing in agri-sector and farmers to get remunerative prices with competitive prices for the consumer. Details to achieve this would have given a definite direction to the policy. The mentioning of review of the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee Act, should spur some changes. I also welcome the announcement of direct transfer of cash for kerosene, diesel and fertilisers, as it would stop pilferage, ensure that benefits reach the needy and also makes the subsidy bill worthwhile.
