In the vegetable market of Narowal, a farmer decided to distribute 50 maunds of cauliflower for free after the price was set by wholesalers at 2 to 5 rupees per kilogram.
The farmer, from the nearby village of Sadiqabad, had brought nearly 50 maunds of cauliflower to the market, but after several rounds of negotiation with wholesalers, he couldn’t get more than 2 to 5 rupees per kilogram.
Disheartened, the farmer decided to distribute the cauliflower for free, and many citizens visiting the market took bags full of free cauliflower.
The farmer explained that his cost of production is around 40,000 rupees per acre, and at just 2 rupees per kilogram, he couldn’t even cover the transportation costs to the market. He shared that he is struggling to pay for his children’s school fees.
