A farmer from Maharashtra’s Paithan has once again highlighted the worsening agrarian crisis after receiving just Re 1 from the sale of his onion crop, according to Times of India report.
Prakash Galadhar, a 45-year-old farmer from Varudi village in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, sold 25 sacks of onions at the Paithan APMC but earned only Rs 1,262 in total — effectively Re 1 per kg. After deductions towards transport, weighing, storage and other charges, he was left with no earnings and was instead asked to pay Re 1.
