A long running rot in India’s
agricultural scene is now rearing its ugly head. For long government panels and
sanctioned committees had predicted that India would have a problem in
maintaining its ability to provide a consistent supply of vegetables and fruits
to a nation of a billion but these indications have been consistently brushed
under the carpet by whichever political party was or is in power. The result
has been an environment where vegetable prices have been on the rise for quite
some time. Hit by the increasing rate of inflation, they have now sky rocketed.
