Here is an article that goes into a lot of historical context and explains what is happening. It's a bit long but does a good job of explaining all the nuances, so it's worth reading to the end.

This article sort of reasserts the same sentiment that the parent comment alluded to. Quoting a couple -

> Some farmers worry whether the reforms might lead to the end of wholesale markets and guaranteed prices.

> Farmers might go from the local monopsonies of the APMCs to the national oligopoly of Amazon-like behemoths.
