- Yes, Mam.
- That is it . Now I hope you have understood the problems faced by farmers in India during the lock down due to pandemic in 2020.
- They could not get adequate number of labourers needed to work in their fields (42%). During the lockdown (2020), farmers (~ 50%) lost their vegetables and flowers worth ranging from Rs. 5000 to 20000 of the value of their crops, followed by 16% lost around Rs. 1000 to 5000 value of their crops.
- Yes, very good Samuel. Now look at this slide show I have put up.
- Similarly, a personal and telephonic conversation held with 45 farmers of North-West India (Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat) indicated that they also faced problems in getting combine harvester and labourers for harvesting Rabi crops, and preparation of Kharif crops (~98% mostly high stress in all states). Selling of crop produce (~87% moderate to high stress in different states), access of inputs for next season crops (~ 84.0% high stress) and restrictions on mobility (~63% moderate to high stress) were another set of stresses caused by COVID-19 pandemic led lockdown. Experience indicated that access of resources and services during and just after the imposition of lockdown situation became major bottlenecks, particularly to the resource-poor farmers.
