Agriculture subsidy
Saif Tinku, On e-mail
It is often complained that the subsidy to the agriculture sector given by the government does not reach the farmers. I think the main cause is the long chain of middlemen who do not supply timely the subsidised fertilisers, seeds, pesticides and other agri-inputs to the farmers. They spend time to push the prices up and exploit the situation. In the recent past, the country experienced a severe artificial fartiliser crisis that even sparked a movement and cost valuable lives.
