Small farms also suffer from their reliance on middlemen to sell their product. As a result, they are sometimes compelled to sell it at less than the cost of producing it. So there is an overwhelming need to develop technologies for local processing, smart packaging and transport facilities which do not disadvantage small farmers.

India must start using data to continuously improve the efficiency of its agricultural supply chains. New technologies such as sensors, GPS and satellite imaging can help collect meaningful data to make India’s agriculture system more resilient. This enables different sections of the supply chain to monitor environmental and other conditions. It can be used to adapt how crops are produced, stored and distributed to reduce waste.

To ensure food supplies are frequent, more localised and involve direct procurement of a diverse food basket from farmers within different states, setting up of mobile food vans can be considered.

Increasing the allocations for direct transfer to farmers through PM Kisan and including everyone who is actively involved in farming irrespective of where (s)he owns a given piece of land or not, from Rs 6,000 to at least Rs 10,000 per farming family for this year (2020-21).

Additionally, both, local and state governments must empower social organisations, NGOs and different civil society members (including RWAs) to be allowed direct procurement of supplies from local farmers/farmer producer organisations (FPOs) and then ensure a more orderly, localised distribution of cooked/pre-cooked food in/across communities to avoid any possibilities of human starvation, or lack of adequate nutritional supplies.

Farmers should be incentivised to move away from cash crops (say, for a year or so) and towards food crops. “Food crops” largely consist of grains, pulses, cereals, legumes (including dried beans), seeds and nuts, vegetables, herbs and spices, etc.

Farm supply chains can be redirected to local areas by incentivising farmers to sell more and more of their produce in local cooperative style channels.

Most migrant workers in cities tend to come from rural farming families. Because of a significant disruption of supply chains due to the lockdown, seen at an intra- and inter-state level, farmers have been stuck with a larger amount of perishables like milk, fruits and vegetables.

Despite some relaxation for agrarian activity to be restored, farmers are still finding it difficult to take the produce to the city-mandis and get a good price. If most of their produce stays within villages and remains largely unsold, food prices will continue to fall and force most of these farming families into destitution.

Provide comprehensive insurance cover against the failure of the crop thus helping in stabilizing the income of the farmers.
