Vegetable growers in Malerkotla and surrounding villages are facing significant financial losses due to extremely low market prices for their produce, with cabbage and cauliflower selling for as little as Rs 1-2 per kg. Farmers cite a lack of government support for storage and input availability, questioning how crop prices fail to cover even transportation costs. Stakeholders like commission agents and retailers profit while growers bear all the risks and losses, leading to calls for government intervention to ensure viable returns.
