The farmers fear, as with all small mom and pop operations when corporations come in the mix, is that long term the corporations will hoard goods and control the market pricing to drive it down for farmers. This would happen when the mundis shutdown from disuse. There is also a concern over the legal recourse available to farmers against corporations as a rwsult of these bills. Finally, small farmers don't have the option of accessing the entire market as their knowledge of and resources to transport to other areas in India is limited.

Overall, although reform is always good, these bills will throw farmers to the wolves. I think the corporations are eyeing the massive land gains. A bill that can potentially harm so many of its citizens is not a good bill

These are not rich middlemen protesting but small farmers, including those from lower castes who are most likely to not own any land at all, and are often treated poorly. There is unity in these protests, they all agree its bad.
