2 per kg, this means that the prices the farmers from these two states are getting are also not very high. But even assuming that the number of villages stays the same, there are potentially 6,893 markets that already exist for farmers’ produce. If one goes to the local market, one can find vegetables and other produce from both local farmers as well as supplies brought in from outside the state. Poor prices keep farmers poor, which means a weakened market and therefore a weaker economy, and the cycle continues. The government could also mandate that canteens or shops within government premises must source vegetables from local farmers.
