Farmer's labour: who wants to use it for making profits

In India, the small time  farm markets provide the non-farming people with daily need of green produce(fruits and vegetables). There are many middlemen or small businessmen who procure the farm produce and bring it to markets for selling. Their livelihoods depends on the moving of produce from the farm to the table of the consumers(farm to fork) If a retail chain  take over this market, then the livelihoods of these middlemen are at stake. Right now, the government is trying to make a policy for direct foreign investment for the retail marketing.Foreign Investment in making of retail shops will bring more capital inflow, and make the economy function better. But other politicians have future election in their agenda and want votes of the middlemen/businessmen.The profits in farming sector will be reaped by the retail markets, and the small time businessmen would have lost their businesses if the new policy is allowed. Strong forces are not allowing the implementation of this policy.
We have not thought about how the farmer will benefit. He will be forced to produce more and in keeping up with the rising expectations. He does not have the technology to keep up as industrial mode of production is not here yet. If foreign investment goes into modernising the mode of production, while keeping the farmer’s role as the chief stake holder, we may become successful both ways. But all attention is on the questions of: big retail giants or small time shops? Who wants to profit from the labour of the farmer?who doesn't?The labour of the farmer is a resource which all want to grab for their own selfish benefit(profit).
