Totapuri growers in Andhra Pradesh face a price crash despite government support. The Centre's Market Intervention Scheme has failed to stabilize prices.
The Totapuri mango growers in Andhra Pradesh are facing a severe crisis due to a price crash. Despite the Centre's Market Intervention Scheme, the prices of Totapuri mangoes have plummeted, leaving farmers in a difficult situation. The scheme was intended to support farmers by procuring their produce at a fixed price, but it has failed to make a significant impact. As a result, farmers are struggling to make ends meet, and the future of Totapuri cultivation in the state looks uncertain. The price crash has affected not only the farmers but also the entire supply chain, including traders and exporters.
