"SAMARTHA"

Subsidizing INDUSTRY (in the name of FARMER!)

against FARMERS INTEREST!

We should subsidize the farmer's agro produce in the mutual interest of Consumer and Farmer. We should not subsidize farmers' industrial inputs (or the giant industries depending on farmers' purchase) in the name of farmers' interest.

Subsidizing BIG / FOREIGN against SMALL / DOMESTIC!

Subsidizing "Giant Industrial" fertilizer products is like subsidizing Giant Fertilizer Industries at the cost of and against (instead of subsidizing /protecting) small domestic eco-friendly oilcake/natural/organic fertilizers' suppliers/manufacturers/ farmers in the name of (safeguarding!) their own (farmers' ) interests. (WORST! subsidize giant fertilizer industry inputs in the name of FARMERS' INTEREST!)

FUNNY FUNDAMENTALS! EXPORT PROTEINS, IMPORT FATS!

Funny Fundamentals! India is exporting (instead of importing/ subsidizing for domestic use) oilcake/protein/cattle feed to developed countries (WITH EXPORT INCENTIVES!) and importing (instead of exporting) edible oil/fats as well as industrial fertilizers!

FUNDAMENTALLY, A HORRIBLE BLUNDER! A GREAT DISASTER! AND SUICIDAL! IN THE NAME OF POOREST!

Subsidizing KEROSENE & DIESEL (URBAN POLLUTION!)/PETRO FUELS is like subsidizing BIG/FOREIGN/INDUSTRY against SMALL/DOMESTIC/FARMER/AGRO FUELS (AGRO FUELS with/ without SUBSIDY/TAX HOLIDAY, if possible). Funny, funny, funny...must be money...

TURNING POINT, WHO CARES?

Subsidized agro products also have an eco-friendly potential to substitute import of agro / non-agro products in the Indian market alongwith numerous other benefits. e.g. AGRO FUELS COMPARED TO PETRO FUELS IN URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

GOING GLOBAL, THE RIGHT WAY...
