    Under Mr. Modi’s plan, corporate buyers would take a much greater role in Indian agriculture because farmers would have greater power to sell their crops to private buyers outside the mandi system, which he said would lift farmer incomes and increase exports.

    Farms have been bought up by corporations over the past decade, now it’s just more corporate agribusiness like everywhere else.
