Uzhavar Sandhai, Banana Market, and Flower Market<br />
February 23, 2012<br />
Farmers Market<br />
Farmers Markets are being sponsored by<br />
government to facilitate the small farmers to<br />
sell their fruits and vegetables directly to the<br />
consumers. There are more than 200<br />
markets formed in urban and semi urban<br />
areas. This helps the producers and the<br />
consumers. 98% of the products are being<br />
sold retail and about 22% sold to whole sale<br />
buyers. A large variety of products are sold<br />
depending on the season.<br />
Banana Market<br />
This is the only auction type market. It was<br />
only banana’s being sold here. Commission<br />
agents are organizing auction similar to<br />
whole sale markets.<br />
Flower Market<br />
All types of commercial flowers are being<br />
sold in the flower market. Prices are being<br />
fixed by merchant/ traders based on the<br />
arrivals/ demand/ festivals. This changed 6<br />
years ago from a buyer-set price type<br />
market. 10% of commission is being<br />
collected by producers.<br />
