Description

Samloti Village, Oct 13 (EFE/EPA).- Paddy is the main summer-sown crop in India, the world's second biggest producer of rice.Thousands of farmers in India have been holding demonstrations for weeks in protest against controversial new agriculture laws that allow big retailers to procure farm products directly from growers.The government has defended the reform measures approved by the parliament, saying these will pave the way for private investment to boost India's agriculture sector, which accounts for some 15 percent of the country's economy.
