The government also prepared the contract farming framework. There is also a provision in this that if the retail price of a product increases, then its stock limit will also be fixed.

In the last several years, many political parties have announced such reforms. This is the reason why the political parties are not so vocal in the current protest. In such an economic survey, the need for these reforms can be emphasized once again.
