Safeguarding the interests of farmers

Transformational changes are taking place in India currently, improving the way we live. These changes are impacting all our lives in small or significant ways. It is gratifying to know that the citizens at large are happy with these changes. Technology and policy are working together to remove opaqueness(ध ुँधलापन). NFSA, the savings for the State exchequer on account of this subsidy, thanks to the

lower central issue price Trade Facilitation Agreement was agreed on in 2013 in Bali and came into force from

February 2017 after two-thirds of the WTO‟s 164 members ratified it. Several trade-related issues such as transparency, predictability and efficiency at the ports,

faster clearance procedures, and improved appeal rights for traders are to be addressed by countries.



They shall notify various provisions to bring in the facilitation, over three years or more. Only the basic set of provisions will be implemented within one year. Trade Facilitation Agreement allows for consultations before any new trade rules are

notified. WTO study indicated that when the Trade Facilitation Agreement is fully implemented,

trade costs for member countries will decrease by an average of 14.3%. It is also estimated that the time taken to export and import will come down drastically. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has made budgetary allocations for bringing in single-window

clearance and improving customs clearance at the ports. High-level committee chaired by the Cabinet Secretary will monitor logistics and efficiency

at ports and related issues. Trade Facilitation Agreement is not about market access but inter alia about facilitating and

bringing trade transparency.

Public Stock Holding issue remains unresolved at the WTO. Although agreed on in Bali in 2013 and reiterated in Nairobi in 2015, that a permanent

solution for Public Stock Holding be found by 2017, it is still a „work-in-progress‟. Existing WTO rules would have allowed a legal challenge to our Public Stock Holding and

minimum support pricebased procurement programme in case we breached „the limit‟ on procurement.

„The limit‟ is defined as 10% of value of production of the particular grain being procured.WTO rules classify procurement and holding of public stocks for food security purposes as

„Green Box‟ or non trade-distorting. However, if food grains for the public stocks are procured through an administered

price/minimum support price and if this minimum support price is higher than the archaic fixed reference price (calculated on base period 1986-88), then it is considered as trade-distorting agriculture support.


Protecting the farmer


One of the first things that this government did in 2014 was to intensely engage with the WTO to obtain a „peace clause‟ so that even if we did breach „the limit‟, no one shall challenge our programme till such a time a permanent solution is found, agreed on, and adopted by the WTO membership.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on this matter, personally engaged with global leaders. So Prime Minister Modi has safeguarded the interests of the farmer and ensured that India‟s

sovereign right to protect them is not diluted.

Conclusion


The foreign façade(बहाना)

Incoming head of the NITI Aayog, Rajiv Kumar, recently said in a column in Dainik Jagranthat India is subject to “foreign influences”, especially in the economic sphere.

Aim of the NITI Aayog is to develop as a think tank which can make India competitive and self-reliant in a globalised world.

Thinking in an integrated modern economy. It is a fact that many prominent and competent people in economic policy in the Modi

government have been educated or have worked abroad, including Mr. Kumar himself! This indicates that many Indians who have excelled abroad want to contribute to economy. In a modern economy like ours, we need people with international exposure (to learn from

the world‟s mistakes) rather than armchair unaccountable pseudo-economists giving lectures, under the cover of political ideology, on what has to be done.



There are pockets of ideas which glorify our small and medium-sized enterprises, We haven‟t really established a robust alternative model like what Singapore and

China have done to suit their socio cultural tendencies. To establish a model like that is possible only when we have competent people with a

broader global understanding of policies and ideas. Indian institutes, the academic quality of economists is no match to global standards. For example, India was plunged into an economic crisis in 1991 largely due to the •awed

policies of home-grown economists International Monetary Fund-> provided •financial support to India to get out of the crisis. So what‟s the point of criticising multilateral institutions when our own policies had neither

the scale nor the vision to take us forward? Should we not pick up useful recommendations from these multilateral institutions?


Continue…


Focus needs to be on making calculated judgments on what suits us and what doesn‟t rather than on shutting out opportunities.

By adapting such narrow-minded views, we are isolating talented Indians who are willing to contribute to the country.

NITI Aayog needs to recruit Indian talent to suit the new ideas that they think are good for India.
