High Cost of Vegetables and Fruits

Farmers are a vanishing tribe Tillers of soil cannot make a living in modern India as they had for centuries. Farmers till the soil and try to make out a living, but with seeds which are costly, and irrigation costs being so high, they are not able to make a profit. Rich farmers have modernized. They have started large scale farming, and they store their produce (like onions) in huge storehouses.Many many poor farmers have had to moved to urban India because they cannot store. Now costs of vegetables and fruits are very high for all. Since there are only few farmers producing, we have to tolerate high prices, which the market dictates. This is the cost we pay for not understanding the problems of the farmers. Untill we help the poor farmer succeed in growing, we will have to tolerate the high prices.
