Pingar took a sip of water and continued: "This is only the first step, the vegetable farmers harvest the onions and store them in the wood in the shack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn hot weather, onions that leave the land will rot within 15 days, and vegetable farmers must speed up transportation because they think they need refrigeration equipment, but they are worried about increasing costs and spoiling the taste of onions.

After grading, the best onions are loaded onto an old trailer and, along with other crops, bumps through the potholed road for hours to reach the market in the town of La Salgaan, 32 kilometres away. The Indian government mandates that all agricultural products be traded in government-regulated markets, and farmers are required to pay a management fee equivalent to 1 per cent of sales to the market and a 4 per cent commission to the sales agent.

At 9 a.m., more than 300 sales agents came to the market, covered their arms with towels and "haggled" with their fingers. Since then, batches of resorted and packaged onions have arrived in Mumbai. There, distributors add 20% of the price and sell to retailers and restaurants. The price of onions that appear on the street will increase by 10%.

Onions are loaded, sorted and repacked at least four times in the long chain from field to fork, which not only increases costs, but also causes a staggering rate of wastage – more than a third of the weight is lost due to breakage and dryness. Due to the lack of a modern food processing industry, substandard onions that could have been used to make sauces are often discarded. In addition, some middlemen maliciously hoard onions in order to achieve the purpose of controlling prices and obtaining huge profits. All of this has pushed up the price of onions. ”

"You dare to say that these malicious middlemen don't include you?" Shakru quipped.

"I'm sure I'm definitely not a price maker, I'm just going with the flow, otherwise if I don't keep up with everyone's rhythm, then I won't be able to mix in this circle in the future." Pingar said with a blushing face.

Shakru also knew that Pingar was definitely not the biggest behind-the-scenes boss in this matter, and seeing that he didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask much, but just muttered: "Hey, why doesn't the government take any measures for this kind of thing?" ”

"Who's to say that nothing has been done? In an attempt to appease the angry populace, the government has banned onion exports. It is also said that in a few days, mobile stalls will be set up in major cities to sell onions to the public at subsidized prices. It is also necessary to seek assistance from China and Iran to curb the rapid rise in onion prices through imports. Pingar replied slowly.

Then he changed the conversation and continued: "However, this method is only a symptom but not a cure, the fundamental problem of soaring onion prices is that backward farming methods and poor agricultural infrastructure lead to low onion production, backward transportation and storage facilities lead to serious waste, and the circulation chain and circulation links are too long to lead to rising prices. ”

In the end, he said with a wry smile: "Actually, I also know that this is not good, but there is no way, I don't earn this money, but others earn it." That's why I'm so interested in public welfare, such as the automatic water dispenser for the poor that you introduced to me this time. ”

Shakru knew that Pingar was spending money to buy a peace of mind, and he didn't care if this kind of automatic water dispenser could make money at all, just like many of the people who donated the most incense money in the temple were and are doing bad things, and they were also afraid of retribution, so they were paying atonement money.

After this incident, it was time for ZEE TV to give Priyanka a special interview, because the communication and preparation were very good in advance, so the whole recording process was very smooth, Priyanka also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Walen Gandhi approach with a clear banner and attitude, and called on voters to correct the young people who are going down the wrong path in time.

Due to Shaklu's hype and Priyanka's own charm, her popularity skyrocketed after this interview was broadcast, and she also received more opportunities to appear on camera and invitations to various social events, the most interesting of which was the unveiling of the 10th women's bank on the 19th of this month.

Women's banks are not the first of their kind in India, and this kind of bank with a strong gender color is most common in the Middle East, where the status of women is very low, and women have no money in their hands and are not convenient to go out in public, so they generally do not go to the bank.

Later, after the status of women improved a little, some banks in Saudi Arabia allowed women to enter, but the staff in them were all men, so it was still not convenient.

One of the first women-only banks was the women's branch of the Bank of Babylon in the holy city of Najaf in Iraq, which was all women, from directors to staff to customers, and no men were allowed to enter. The only exception is the branch manager, but even if he wants to enter the business hall, he must make an appointment in advance and enter through the back door, not the front door.

By the way, the security guards are all men, but they can only stand on the street outside the bank gate, and they are not allowed to step into the bank or look into the business hall.

In this bank, women can take off their veils and enjoy their freedom. The reason for the emergence of such banks is that since 2000, Arab women have generally increased their level of education, coupled with the huge wealth brought by oil, so that they are no longer satisfied with saving private money, and have begun to seek other more advanced financial management and investment channels, and Arab women are quite financially minded, they have more knowledge of asset allocation and retirement planning than women in other regions, and they are the most confident in fund investment. As a result, women-only banks and investment firms have proliferated in the Middle East. In order to win the business of many wealthy women in the area, investment banks such as Merrill Lynch have sent financial specialists. Local banks have also targeted working women, giving them credit cards and loans to buy cars and homes.

Although India is not like the Middle East, women must wear black clothes and veils when they go out, but the status of men and women is also quite unequal, according to statistics, the number of women in the country to open bank accounts is not even one-tenth of men, so in order to promote gender equality, but also in order to open up the female market, India has also established a women's bank based on the successful experience of the Middle East.

PS: The savings cards and credit cards issued by these women's banks are also very beautiful, all of them are beautiful patterns, which is quite tempting for people like me who like to collect cards. (To be continued.) )
