    Almost all agriculturists have turned their huge farms into areca plantations which price is at life time high and profit margins are huge, also it's not a perishable item hence there is hardly any supply of locally grown veggies unlike yesteryears! These areca farmer's are now howling as the center has given permission to import 17000 tonnes of areca from Bhutan without any reserve price!!

    A grazing trip from monkeys or stray cattle can render months of labour put into harvesting crops useless. While farmers across the country use scarecrows and keep regular watch over their crops, Bhaskar Reddy, a farmer from Telangana went a step further and donned a sloth bear costume to protect his produce.

    There is a reason. You lazy people in DK are not growing anything anymore, but need everything cheaper. You want everything to come down the Shiradi Ghat just like that and cheap. Prices of vegetables in Bangalore are cheaper than in Mangalore.
