A recent research paper published by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on food inflation reveals that the Indian farmers receive only about one-third of the final selling price of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers Getting Paid 1\/3rd Of The Vegetable Prices Consumer Pay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that the remaining amount goes largely to wholesalers and retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the picture is totally different in the dairy sector as there farmers almost get around 70% of the final price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, egg producers also receive about 75% of the final price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of staple items such as tomatoes, onions, and potatoes, farmers get about 33%, 36%, and 37% of the consumer price, respectively, revealed by the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the fruits, the farmers earn 31% of the final price for bananas, 35% for grapes, and 43% for mangoes on the domestic market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of fruit<\/a> export it’s different, for instance the share for mangoes increases, but for grapes, it decreases, even if the overall price is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Prevent The Price Spikes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price spikes can be forecasted using a “balance sheet approach,” said Ashok Gulati, the Economist, co-author of the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to prevent these spikes, the research suggests several measures  including expanding private markets, enhancing the use of the e-NAM platform, promoting farmer collectives, and relaunching futures trading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study further recommends building cold storage facilities, encouraging solar-powered storage, increasing processing capacities, and promoting consumer awareness of processed products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides this they also advise adjusting trade policies so the prices can be stabilized for short-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They suggest improving productivity, enhancing storage and marketing efficiencies, and integrating digital platforms like e-NAM for the Long-term measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of dairy and poultry, the study advises creating a feed bank, utilizing barren lands for grass cultivation, and promoting artificial insemination to boost livestock productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, recommendations include improving the supply chain, expanding processing and exports, using crop insurance, adjusting import duties, and leveraging digital tools to track supply and manage price fluctuations for fruits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
