Cauliflower selling at Rs 1/kg, upset farmers run tractors over standing crops
Farmers in Amroha are destroying their cauliflower crops due to low prices of Rs 1 per kg, causing heavy losses. They typically sell to local markets supplying Delhi-NCR and Uttarakhand, but high transport costs and middlemen leave them struggling. Last year's good prices led to overproduction this season, resulting in excess supply and plummeting wholesale prices.
