MEA
launches site to “ link Farmers with Investors “ /
Eco Times ( Print Version ) – 17 Dec 2020
Extract :
Ø
www.indbiz.gov.in
will help farmers acquire
investment and market their products abroad
Ø
India, on Wednesday launched a digital interface
for FOREIGN INVESTORS to connect directly with
FARMERS
Ø
As per sources, www.indbiz.gov.in will be a ONE-STOP window
for FARMERS to ACQUIRE INVESTMENTS and market
their products abroad
=============================================================================
I went through the website. It does provide to foreign
investors some useful information and links to other govt websites / resources
I could not find any page from where an Indian Farmer could find
a foreign buyer ( for export ) or for “ acquiring
investment “ ! May be I did not
dive deep enough !
You may want to look up : http://www.indbiz.gov.in/invest-in-india/
But that is not my main point
My main
point is :
Ø
Farmers are already “ misled “ ( more than
sufficiently ) re “ Corporate
Takeover “ of their farms . They are being told : Big
companies will take over / buy out your land and turn you into landless
mazdoors !
Hey !
What “ Foreign Investment “
do our farmers want to “ acquire “ ? I cannot see any foreign investor wanting to “
invest “ in the land ( not a company , in any case ) of an Indian farmer
I am afraid, interested parties will now exploit this Economic Times headline
( in Print version ) and create a scare among the farmers by saying :
“ We had told you so
! Now you know the hidden agenda of the
Government “
Dear Shri Tomarji,
All we can now hope is that this corner news goes unnoticed !
Nevertheless, you may want to issue a clarification
