Farmers throw vegetables on roads following dip in prices

Mysuru: The farmers on Thursday threw heaps of vegetable including tomato, cauliflower and others on the road at APMC Market in Mysuru, following a reduction in their prices.

Heavy rainfall in the state since the past few days in the state is creating a desperate situation for the farmers where they aren’t able to find a proper storage facility for their produce.

“Due to heavy rain and the decrease of prices of beans, cauliflowers and tomatoes, the farmers have thrown them out and left them on the roads. We are trying to hold a discussion with the vendors on cleaning the market and bringing stability in the vegetable prices,” the President of APMC market was quoted speaking to ANI.
