Trending searches: how long is the debate

[Music] in madhya Pradesh a seemingly simple question ignited a legal battle that lasted nearly a decade is garlic a vegetable or a spice this debate which might seem trivial to some carried significant consequences for Farmers Traders and the Region's agricultural economy recently the Madia Pradesh High Court's indoor bench delivered a verdict aimed at settling the dispute once and for all ruling said garlic should be classified as a vegetable the controversy began in 2015 when a farmers organization in madhia Pradesh successfully lobbied the Mundy board to classify garlic as a vegetable this move was intended to allow Farmers to sell garlic and vegetable markets thereby avoiding the commission fees typically associated with selling spices it was a strategic decision aimed at increasing Farmers profits by granting them greater control over their product prod sales however the agriculture Department quickly intervened reclassifying garlic as a spice under the agricultural Produce Market Committee or the apmc act of 1972 this reclassification meant that garlic would be subject to regulations and fees imposed on spices sparking outrage among farmers and Traders who felt the decision favored middlemen over primary producers in 2016 the potato onion and garlic Commission agent Association took the matter to court challenging the reclassification the legal battle culminated in a 2017 ruling by a single judge who declared garlic or vegetable for Market classification purposes while this decision was expected to resolve the issue it instead sparked further controversy with Traders arguing that the ruling primarily benefited commission agents rather than Farmers amid the ongoing dispute Mukesh suani filed a review petition in July 2017 bringing the case back into the courtroom the legal wrangling continued for years with both sides unwilling to back down finally in a recent ruling the indoor bench of the Madia Pradesh High Court comprising Justice sa dharmadhikari and Justice D wenat Raman upheld the 2017 decision affirming that garlic should be classified as a vegetable the Court's ruling restored the previous system allowing Farmers to sell their garlic directly in vegetable markets without paying commission fees this decision was seen as a victory for Farmers providing them with the opportunity to increase their profits and secure a more stable income however the court also acknowledged Garlic's dual identity recognizing that while it would be treated as a vegetable for Market purposes it's often considered a spice in culinary context due to its strong flavor and versatility the court further noted that the classification of garlic Falls outside the state government's jurisdiction when it comes to imposing changes meaning no further decisions could be made regarding its classification at this time the verdict thus maintains status quo while acknowledging the complexities of agricultural classification for the farmers and Traders of Madia Pradesh this ruling brings much needed Clarity and resolution This legal dispute over garlic is more than just a debate over a classification it's a testament to the impact that agricultural policies and Market regulations can have on the livelihoods of those who grow and trade of food garlic a simple yet powerful ingredient has once again proven its importance not just in our kitchens but in the economic and legal Landscapes that shape the world of Agriculture click on the link in the description to read more about the story don't forget to share the video and subscribe to LA today for more updates about what is happening in courts across the country
