    "content": "If I discuss that a little more, we can set up aggregation centres across the country. We are not investing in those aggregation centres significantly. Our farmers would take their produce to aggregation centres instead of selling it the same day, if we were to invest in aggregation centres. Our farmers have not invested in storage. It means they take their produce to the market immediately they harvest since they have not invested in storage and they are rain-dependent. They all meet at the market and drop prices of goods. They sell below producer prices most of the time. As a result, we milk them dry. Basically, they pay us to consume their food. To turn that around, we need to invest in aggregation. Once we do that, we have to invest in adjoining or supportive infrastructure to carry the goods or the produce to the market"
