Indian farmers receive only about one-third of the final selling price of fruits and vegetables, according to research papers published by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on food inflation. The rest of the amount goes largely to wholesalers and retailers. In contrast, farmers in the dairy sector get around 70% of the final price, and egg producers receive about 75%. The studies revealed that for staple items like tomatoes, onions, and potatoes, farmers get about 33%, 36%, and 37% of the consumer price, respectively. For fruits, farmers earn 31% of the final price for bananas, 35% for grapes, and 43% for mangoes on the domestic market. When exported, the share for mangoes increases, but for grapes, it decreases, even if the overall price is higher. Economist Ashok Gulati, co-author of the study, mentioned that price spikes can be forecasted using a «balance sheet approach.» The research suggests several measures to prevent these spikes, including expanding private markets, enhancing the use of the e-NAM platform, promoting farmer collectives, and relaunching futures trading. Moreover, the study recommends building cold storage facilities, encouraging solar-powered storage, increasing processing capacities, and promoting consumer awareness of processed products.
