Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke to people at a neighbourhood market in Delhi on how the price of items, like garlic, peas, etc are straining household budgets
Retail prices of garlic are in the Rs 180-300 per kg price bracket, depending on the quality of produce in different markets. Wholesale prices, on the other hand, are somewhere between Rs 150-260
Farmers claim that garlic in the wholesale market is selling at as low as Re 1 per kg. The problem, resulting from a bumper garlic crop this season, is spread across the Malwa region in Madhya Pradesh
