The central government promulgated three ordinances on June 5, 2020– the Farmers Produce Trade and commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) ordinance,2020, the farmers (empowerment and Protection) agreement on price assurance and farms services ordinance,2020 and the essential commodities (Amendment)ordinance,2020 to facilitate barrier-free trade of farmers produce outside the markets notified under various state APMC laws.
All three laws were passed by Parliament in September and received Presidential assent on September 27. The supreme court, however, had stayed the implementation of three farm laws in January 2021. But the farmers across the country have been protesting against these laws for about a year demanding repeal of the three farm laws
