Ghanti Bajao: Garlic farmers of Rajasthan depressed as prices crash

According to Rajasthan’s Directorate of Horticulture, garlic production in the Hadoti region — comprising the southeastern districts of Bundi, Kota, Baran and Jhalawar — rose from 5,91,687 tonnes in 2016-2017 to 7,16,120 tonnes this crop year, resulting in lower prices.
Most farmers here complain about not being able to sell their crop to the Rajasthan State Co-operative Marketing Federation Ltd (RAJFED) under the state government’s market intervention scheme (MIS). While the procurement price for garlic under this scheme is Rs 3,257 per quintal, a mere 59,722 tonnes had been purchased from 16,628 farmers in the entire state as on June 19.
