The central government is trying to hand over the control of our agriculture sector to multinationals, said A.Vijaya Raghavan, general secretary of the All India Agriculture Workers Union (AIAWU).

Speaking at a seminar in Kozhikode Town Hall, he alleged that the farmers’ rights have been widely violated due to corporate- friendly reforms of the government.

The government ‘conspiracy’ to permit complete control of various process of agriculture from production, marketing and research to seed technology to corporate; challenges our self- reliance in food production.

The privatization of agriculture sector would harm our food security system-he added.
