A Supreme Court-appointed committee headed by justice (retired) Nawab Singh has made broad-brush observations about India’s agrarian crisis and urged serious consideration of legal sanctity to minimum support prices (MSP) for farmers. While the committee’s word is unlikely to be binding, it will play a role in shaping the apex court’s mind which has been hearing a matter on the resolution of farmers’ protests. That India’s agrarian economy has been mired in a viability crisis — farmer suicides are its most macabre manifestation — isn’t unknown. That this crisis can only be solved by generating more jobs outside farming is also widely known but far more difficult to achieve. However, in keeping with the twists and turns of the Indian political economy, even labour-abundant farms are doing all they can to save on labour costs today. Things such as using stubble burning to clear fields for the next crop — the practice is only proliferating — are a direct fallout of such measures. Can something like an MSP fix these problems? There are many who berate India’s MSP and the associated food security programme. Without this, we would have had no food security for hundreds of millions of people. But MSP alone can’t solve second-order problems of Indian agriculture after having secured our food security from the demand and supply side. In states such as Punjab, MSP has given a nudge in the wrong direction — unleashing water scarcity and soil degradation locally and toxic air outside. Fixing the viability and sustainability crisis in India’s farms requires a more broad-based political dialogue among all stakeholders to evolve the appetite for transforming farming and carve out the fiscal space to support such efforts. There are no silver bullets here. Courts would do well to understand this.

TORONTO — Hannah Miller scored a power-play goal with 1:38 remaining in the game, lifting the Toronto Sceptres to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Fleet in the Professional Women's Hockey League season opener on Saturday. With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a Daryl Watts shot with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet (0-1-0) challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller's shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto (1-0-0) on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike to seal the score at 3-1 with 12 seconds left on the game clock. Boston's Hilary Knight opened the scoring at the 3:00 mark of the opening frame, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristin Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, was outstanding with 38 saves. Frankel made a significant glove-hand stop on Toronto defender Jocelyne Larocque with 6:36 remaining in the third period. Larocque was alone when a rebound caromed to her in front. But the puck was rolling, and she could only lift her shot straight into Frankel's glove. Nurse's goal tested the league's new jailbreak rule that sees a minor penalty — in this case, Izzy Daniel's tripping infraction — wiped out when a team scores a short-handed goal. . Takeaways Sceptres: Billie Jean King MVP Natalie Spooner missed the season opener. The PWHL scoring champion underwent left knee surgery last June after getting injured in Game 3 of Toronto's first-round series against Minnesota. Fleet: Defender Emma Greco of Burlington, Ont., played her first game for Boston. She was part of the Walter Cup-winning Minnesota team that defeated Boston in a three-game series last spring. Greco is one of five Ontario-born players on the Fleet roster. Key moment With the game tied 1-1, the Sceptres failed to score during a 59-second 5-on-3 advantage midway through the second period. Boston blocked five shots during the span. Key stat Last year, Toronto enjoyed an 11-game win streak en route to its regular-season championship, including three wins against Boston. Up next Toronto visits Ottawa on Tuesday. Boston will play its home opener on Wednesday, a rematch with the Walter Cup-champion Minnesota.

Google's Southeast Asia economy report highlights the archipelago as Southeast Asia's most prominent digital economy, boasting a gross merchandise value (GMV) of US$82 billion in 2023. E-commerce alone is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 percent, reaching $82 billion by 2025. While many startups have risen and grown in Indonesia, making it the Southeast Asian country with the second highest venture capital investment after Singapore, international players have also been aggressively eyeing the market. In e-commerce and ride-sharing, prominent international players like Shopee, Lazada and Grab have been competing with local heroes such as GoTo, Tokopedia and Blibli while expanding their reach. However, with profitability as the new focus in the wake of the latest global economic changes, these tech unicorns have moved away from merely growing market shares to maintaining sustainable and profitable growth. GoTo is a classic example. The local unicorn expanded into markets such as Vietnam and Singapore at the peak of its growth. However, it announced its exit from Vietnam in September, with reports also suggesting that the tech giant may soon exit Singapore, while other companies such as Grab and SEA have earlier undertaken their restructuring efforts. Nonetheless, with a current internet business penetration that is still far below developed markets like the United States and China, much of the Indonesian market remains underpenetrated. Large portions of the Indonesian archipelago are still out of reach for many of these companies due to logistical challenges.
