So this morning I went to rural vegetables marketing yard (which is one in every city) in India and I was surprised to see that farmers were selling vegetables at really really low price, much lower than I expected. Usually I buy vegetables from supermarkets. In there vegetables are sold at no less than $3/kg.
It was not very happy experience for me as most of the conversions I heard in the vegetable market ended in, "sir, please don't bargain, we don't earn much."
At starting I was also bargaining but after thinking what would be farmers earning from this after all the expenses of farming, my mind went blank, I stopped bargaining. I had heard from others that at vegetables yard, things are sold for nothing but seeing this in person was a different experience.
I guess next time I buy a glass of beer worth $8 in clubs, I will pause for a moment.
