Makes sense, but the problem was the method of implementation - you do not make drastic changes like these in a democracy without consulting farmers and taking into considerations all its impacts, which the framing of the amendments showed were several.

What's sad is that there was a large survey done with the farmers across India on whether they wanted better prices and security against big farmers. A majority wanted these things and that's how the bill started. The large farmers who owned the mandis to which the small farmers sold all their stuff to just gaslighted the farmers into rioting.
