Stark income disparities between dairy and vegetable

This episode examines the successful cooperative model of Amul, which allows dairy farmers to earn 80-85% of the final consumer price, while vegetable farmers often receive only 30-40%. The discussion then analyzes the challenges faced by vegetable farmers, including fragmented markets, volatile prices, and a lack of institutional support. The text concludes by proposing solutions to bridge the income gap, including strengthening farmer producer organizations, building cold storage infrastructure, and developing direct-to-consumer platforms.
