Dip in exports inflicts losses on chilli farmers in Ganjam
Ganjam's chilli farmers face severe financial distress as prices plummet to Rs 15-20 per kg, a stark drop from Rs 80-90 earlier. Reduced exports due to West Asia conflicts and lower demand from other states are cited as primary reasons. Farmers struggle to recoup investments, relying solely on local markets as international buyers remain absent.
