Kudos for your excellent editorial, “Mere tweaks will not help” (November 23). It is indeed sad that 70 years after independence, we still don’t have a grip over our agriculture policies and the welfare of farmers, who account for a very sizable percentage of our population. All governments have waxed eloquent about this crucial issue for our country but little seems to have been achieved as far as: (i) The lives and welfare of the farmers are concerned; and (ii) our tragic over dependence on imported cooking oils.
