Farmers in India have decided to pause their protests demanding higher prices for their crops. The farmers had been marching towards the capital until Wednesday, when their unions engaged in another round of talks with officials. During the talks, the government proposed a guaranteed minimum price for growing specific crops, which the farmers are now considering.
The protests began last week when thousands of farmers converged on New Delhi, calling for the government to establish a minimum price for their produce following the repeal of certain laws. The farmers have expressed their willingness to halt their march while they consult with experts on the new proposals.
