The Indian farm reforms in 2020 refer to three agricultural bills passed by Indian Parliament in September 2020. The bills collectively seek to provide farmers with multiple marketing channels, break the so-called monopolies including that of government regulated mandis (market yards), and provide a legal framework for farmers to enter into pre-arranged contracts among other things.[1][2] The bills are the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill.[3][4] On 27 September 2020, they received approval from the President Ram Nath Kovind and became acts.[5]
