Farmers in West Bengal did not join the 10-day agitation launched by farmer organisations in several northern states to press their demands including loan waiver and right price for their produce.
The protesters have called 10-boycott of mandis or wholesale markets in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, triggering fears of shortage of food products and price rise.
"There is no plan to boycott markets in Bengal," Panchim Banga Pradeshik Krishak Sabha secretary Amal Halder told PTI.
The general secretary of the Forum of Traders Organisations, Rabindranath Kolay said there was no report about any protest by farmers or boycotting of wholesale markets or mandis in the state.
"In Bengal farmers are happy with good returns from paddy and potato. So, such protests will not take place here," he added.
The decision to stop supplies starting from June 1 till June 10 was taken by farmers under the banner of Kisan Ekta Manch and Rashtriya Kisan Maha Sangh.
Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Mahasangh (RKMM) convenor Shivkumar Sharma said in Bhopal that the "Gaon Bandh' stir is being held across 22 states.
