Apple Market Crash in HP : Rakesh Taiket shows solidarity with suffering apple growers

Agriculture Market crashed in Himachal Pradesh due to monopoly of big Corporate but on Saturday suffering apple growers got solidarity of Bharat Kisan Union leader Rakesh Taiket.
 Rakesh Taiket was addressing a press conference at Shimla  here today said that Big Corporate made their entry in the apple market ten years ago from Himachal Pradesh when they started trading apple as small traders no have monopoly on entire Agriculture sectors and it’s assets.
“If the peasents of Himachal did not come forward raising their voice  against the ‘Company Raj’ ,  apple orchards  and their other land would be owned by these big firms in coming days on the anology tea gardens of Assam.” Mr Takeit said.
The way corporate are increasing their control on the market today day is not far when  growers would be compelled to sell their land to them  and the owners of these orchids would work as a laborers on his own land,

 He said the Sayunkt Kisan Morcha will raise this issue in delhi. We will tell the other farmers sitting on Delhi borders on protest  and the Union govt what the big companies like Adani have done there in Himachal to the orchids.
In his first visit to the state capital, while addressing the media here today he said that Adani floated their own rates of the apple crops and as the market got down this company started to purchase the crops from the orchids.
The rates it  floated were 16 rupees per kg less than the last year. 
These big companies are purchasing the crops at a low rate and will store them in their cold stores and later on will sell at higher prices. Like this, producers will be at a loss. he said.

To stop this we are seeking and getting  support of  all the peasants and establishing contact with all NGOs and farmer organisations” he said.
Responding to queries about slump in Agriculture and apple market he said that they are working  hard to stop the exploitation.
He hoped that  farmers could only stop the prevailing antifarmer policies of Govt after building powerful movement.
“Simla Thanda  pada hi ab ise garm hona pdega”( Shimla is cold. it has to warm up itself) he observed reffering about the present Farmer movement.
The government must address the issue of farmers in priorities howeverShimla may become Delhi in context of agitation. ” Shimla ko delhi bante der nahin lageg.”
Rakesh Taiket warned that after entering Agriculture sectors these firms gradually step into  farm produce business and started to manipulate the rates to make it unprofitable to farmers.
We are already vehementaly opposing the trend now BKU and Kisan Sanyukt Morch shall not allow this company Raj in the state and the country. 

Seeking support of all section of farmers he said that they should be prepare themselves not bothering to sacrifice one crop.
He said  the rates which farmers was getting ten years ago are same today .
 No hike in any way , while there were increase in everything in the country . 
Farmers must be given better prices of their crops, he said. 
 Seeking transport subsidy to the farmers Mr Taiket said that by facilitating them their cropscould be market at Bangalore and other places.
