To refresh your memory since it has been over a year since the farm laws were ordained, the three laws which the farmers have been protesting are:

-- The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act: provides for setting up a mechanism allowing farmers to sell their farm produces outside the Agriculture Produce Market Committees (APMCs). Any licence-holder trader can buy the produce from the farmers at mutually agreed prices. This trade of farm produces will be free of mandi tax imposed by the state governments.

-- The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act: allows farmers to do contract farming and market their produces freely.

-- The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act: is an amendment to the existing Essential Commodities Act.
