Of course Reuters, the compromised European propaganda mouthpiece for capitalism would blame increased payments to Indian rice farmers. Even basic critical thinking about this point would show how depraved it is. Apparently, capitalism only works when it's built up on slavery and abject poverty or it can't even produce rice.

Under Mr. Modi’s plan, corporate buyers would take a much greater role in Indian agriculture because farmers would have greater power to sell their crops to private buyers outside the mandi system, which he said would lift farmer incomes and increase exports.

Farms have been bought up by corporations over the past decade, now it's just more corporate agribusiness like everywhere else.

Fair enough. I haven't looked at the split between big ag and cottage farming in India.
