An opinion piece argues that a legally guaranteed minimum support price would not resolve Indian farmers' distress, and that an export-led strategy under the Agriculture Export Policy 2018 could raise farm incomes. It notes that India holds only about 2.2 percent of global agricultural trade and that Parliament was set to repeal three farm laws.
The piece is advocacy rather than a new policy action, so it has little immediate effect on prices. It does signal a possible long-term push toward export expansion that could add to Indian grain and rice supply in global markets.
