Supporting foreign investment in agriculture sector, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said it will benefit farmers as investment in this sector is diminishing and the sector has become non-profitable.
“Farmers would be benefitted if FDI is allowed in agriculture sector which has become non-profitable and investment is diminishing. I am always in favour of FDI,” Mr. Singh told reporters after BSP and SP workers from Meerut and adjoining areas joined Rastriya Lok Dal.
“Today, farmers are facing problem of improper marketing of their produce. They get a meagre amount while middlemen make a lot of money. When big companies come, they would directly buy from them, so farmers would be benefitted,” Mr. Singh said.
