You could be charged higher for the best among them and less for the lower quality goods.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Now, your concern about the farmers getting less amount is mostly because of the monopoly of the bulk buyers. Farmers have to sell their crops before they get rotten or damaged and sometime they don't have enough space to store the crops and need to get prepare for the next seasonal crops. Bulk buyers get benefits from this and other situation and give the farmers the price which they want.</p>\n<p>Thanks & Have a nice day.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk46kvezq","appParentAuthor":"erica20","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
