I can see where you're going at OP, most farmers in my country are facing that hardship too, they feel like they don't have a choice, most of the farmers are heavily exploited too, most of them don't even own the land that they till and reap the during harvest season comes around. I hope that the farmers would someday learn that they can bend others to their will, they create the food supply, they can easily not give it out and do a strike, let the middlemen starve.
Sadly, they are being controlled by the rich people. Their lands was being bought by rich people or their crops are getting funded by rich people or it could be that their harvest are being bought by the rich people at a cheaper price and held it to make it looks like there are a shortage of product to sell it in the market at a much higher price.
Farmers are people with good intentions who only know nothing both to grow their crops healthy to be able to offer the public a good harvest, but the emergence of the businessmen have made everything look complicated in the farming industry. Farmers were supposed to be the one prospering from their own harvest, but these businessmen are actually the one who are earning multiple times the price they paid to buy products from the farmers, and the farmers on the other end are earning a living like an employee who lives from paycheck to paycheck.
Their profit are exclusively enough to buy products in the next planting season.
Agriculture is a field of livelihood for residents in the village, agriculture is one of their economies, every time they harvest in the rice fields their economy is prosperous, because that is their only livelihood, now the price of rice has soared much higher, but the selling price of rice is not continuing to rise down, now the farmers are screaming about their harvest because every time they plow their fields until they harvest they have to spend a lot of money for the sake of the rice fields, such as steel which continues to rise and is scarce, causing them difficulties, when the harvest continues to fall, the price continues to fall, not in line with the price of rice. , because businessmen are now taking advantage of people's harvests in the villages by buying paddy at cheap prices, they are milling it into rice and selling it at high prices, automatically for entrepreneurs and business people who make a profit, those in the fields continue to suffer losses due to incidents like that, So now we also have to think about the fate of people who make a living in the rice fields, sometimes they don't have enough to earn from their own rice fields so they have to go to rich people's rice fields to supplement their daily living expenses.
