  • Need Assurance That We Won¹t Be Sued Again: Gujarat Potato Farmers

    After PepsiCo decided to withdraw cases filed against potato farmers in Gujarat, one would assume that dust has settled on the matter once and for all.

    Instead, potato farmers are still fuming because the state government did not consult them or the cultivators before meeting PepsiCo, to arrive at an amicable statement.

    A joint statement issued by the farmers rights group on Saturday, 4 May said, “The Gujarat government, after making itself a mediator in this controversy, has not consulted the farmers sued by PepsiCo and has not involved any farmers' organizations in the discussions it is holding with PepsiCo India"

    Eventually on Monday, 6 May, PepsiCo withdrew one case filed against potato farmers Fulchandbhai Kachchhawa and Sureshbhai Kachchhawa at the Deesa court in Banaskantha district.

    However, the sued farmers not only want an unconditional withdrawal of the cases but also an assurance from PepsiCo that they will not pursue litigation against farmers in the state.
