Sharp Fall in Soybean Prices Sparks Farmers’ Protest at Bhainsa Agricultural Market

Bhainsa, October 14 ( Afroz Khan Press Media Correspondent):
Tensions flared at Bhainsa Agricultural Market on Monday Night as farmers staged a major protest over the sudden and steep decline in soybean prices.
According to sources, farmers who brought their produce early in the morning had to wait the entire day without any buyers. Frustrated by the lack of procurement, they staged a sit-in near Gandhi Ganj, blocking the road and demanding fair and transparent pricing.
The agitated farmers accused local traders of colluding to deliberately reduce prices. “They show higher rates for just a few sacks to create the illusion of good market value, while the rest of the crop is being purchased at significantly lower rates,” one farmer claimed.They also questioned how soybean prices could drop by ₹600 to ₹1,000 in a single day. Farmers alleged that traders were unfairly rejecting produce under the pretext of high moisture content, while agricultural authorities reportedly remained silent observers.
Upon receiving information about the protest, Bhainsa Town CI Gopinath rushed to the scene, held discussions with the farmers, and persuaded them to end their demonstration.Before dispersing, the farmers warned that if transparent and fair procurement is not ensured in the agricultural market, they will be compelled to escalate their agitation on a larger scale.
