MP Announces Soybean Scheme, Farmers Voice Concerns

The Madhya Pradesh government is bringing back a program called Bhavantar Yojana for soybean farmers.

This means the government will pay farmers the difference if their soybeans sell for less than a set price.

Farmers sell their soybeans as usual, and the government pays them extra if the market price is low.

Some farmers worry this might not be as good as selling at a fixed price.

They fear the calculation of the difference may not be fair and that the scheme's history could lead to problems, like lower prices and payment delays.
