India: United We Stand

Saw a woman negotiating over 5 rupees with an old farmer/fruit seller who was selling a few mangoes and lemons that he sourced from his tree at his home in a village.

While buyers CAN choose to negotiate, it doesn't feel like a right thing to do especially with our farmers who are trying to barely make a living by selling a few vegetables on the streets.

Please keep in mind that they are feeding the nation. 5-50 rupees may not make an impact on your finances, remember that these small amounts can pay them for their way back home from the town to their village.

Next time y'all buy something from our farmers, I hope you'd be generous or if not fair with them :)

Kudos to everyone here that treats our lovely farmers with respect and dignity. Our farmers deserve all the love and kindness ❤️

P.S: After the woman left, I had a chat with the farmer and got to know that he travels 20 km once a week to sell a few vegetables that he grows in his small piece of land. Bought a couple of mangoes from him and can't wait to munch on them today!

Have a great day everyone!
