Government has established ________ to satisfy consumers and farmers in marketing. (Uzhavar Sandhai / Co-operative bank / Private shops)

Uzhavar Sandhai

Most farmers sell their crops to middlemen who further sell directly to consumers. But often, these middlemen exploit the farmers as well as consumers, buying from low prices from the farmers and selling the agricultural products at high prices to consumers for profit.

The ‘Uzhavar Sandhai’ by the Tamil Nadu Government assists the farmers in marketing their products by themselves and eliminates the need for middlemen. This benefits both the farmer and the consumer, as farmers get fair prices for products and consumers are also not overcharged. Loans are also provided to farmers at low rate of interest by government.
