Contentious issues range from high prices, entry of middlemen to poor facilities
If the Rythu Bazars were formed to provide a platform for farmers to sell their produce directly to customers and in the process benefit both the parties, the idea seems to have taken a beating. There are problems galore here as customers fume over high prices, while the farmers are unhappy over the entry of middlemen and poor and inadequate facilities.
“Farmers do not stick to prescribed rates. Parking space is insufficient and unhygienic conditions are making us avoid these markets. Farmers too are quite rude with us,” says a customer, Sekhar.
Farmers angry
Five complaints are being registered in each Rythu Bazar pertaining to sanitation, parking and exorbitant prices as farmers too are angry over the fixed prices. Most are not keen on carrying their business, particularly in the absence of proper storage facilities, problems in transporting their stocks and low prices compared to conventional markets.
“I bring the stock in the morning and my endeavour is to see that my goods are disposed of as fast as possible because I cannot sit all day long or take it back,” points out a farmer, Saidulu. Prices at Rythu Bazars are fixed by the authorities based on the wholesale prices in the Bowenpally Agriculture Market.
