Hi Ram,

The same thing has happened to Sugarcane farmers as well in TN. You are creating a situation wherein you are dependent on a single customer in this case a company and that too providing him your goods on credit.

If you want to avoid this in future, you should not go for contract farming and also choose the end products in such a way that it is easily saleable in the market. If you do not do this, the chances of exploitation will be more as more and more people move towards contract farming.
