Contract Farming
Contract Farming in India is a new concept. The process of contract farming involves cultivating and harvesting for and on behalf of big business establishments or Government agencies. In return, the contracted farmers are offered high price against their farm produce. The role of contract farming in India is becoming more and more important, since organized farming practice has become the need of the hour.

some negatives
Some negatives of contract farming:
1. You lose control over your land and what is cultivated, and it is quite possible that the contracting company goes for short term profits, degrading the land.
2. Profits will be shared on the terms of the company which may not be favorable to you.
3 Most contracting companies are backed by MNCs with their monocultures, hybrid seeds, and focus on what the current hype is. So it seems that this is another way that local people lose control over land and ecological resources.
If you are a genuine farmer, think twice before going for contract farming.
There are lots of ways to reduce risk in farming, increase profits, minimize labor, and improve your health as a side effect, but it requires your own judgement, just don't surrender too much to commercial interests.
