There are some districts in India that are famous for growing tomatoes. However, during some seasons, the situation is not good for farmers. With a large quantity of harvest, there are reports of farmers throwing away their produce and all their hard work going to waste. Why do you think farmers do this? What role can wholesalers play in such situations? What are the possible ways of ensuring that the tomatoes are not wasted, and the farmers are also not at a loss? Class 7

Answer:

Farmers sometimes throw away their tomatoes because there is too much supply, and they can't sell them at a price which is less than labour and transportation expenses on selling they will bear loss.

Wholesalers can help by buying large quantities at fair prices and distribute them to other markets. They can also keep them in cold storage to avoid spoil.

Farmers could work together to sell their produce to tomato product making companies directly. The government could help by providing cold storage facilities and can also buy at subsidise rates.
