Ensure a fair market for farmers

June 19, 2023 07:30 am

The incident of farmers dumping over 92,000 kilograms of tomatoes in Kalimati on Sunday, as they were unable to sell them even at a meager price of Rs 4 per kilogram, serves as a distressing reminder of the pressing need to establish a fair market for our hardworking agricultural community. Our farmers form the backbone of our nation's economy and are the unsung heroes who work tirelessly day and night to ensure our food security. Witnessing their labor go to waste due to the inability to sell their produce at reasonable rates is truly disheartening.
