Farmers in Talavadi expressed concern over vegetables procured from them at a meagre price being sold at exorbitant price to people during the total lockdown here.
Tomato, cabbage, chilly, beans, beetroot, cauliflower, chowchow, brinjal, Ivy gourd and other gourd varieties are cultivated widely by farmers in the hill. Every day, farmers take their produce to the mandis where vegetables in large quantities also arrive from Chamarajanagar in Karnataka.
The vegetables are auctioned in the evening and the successful bidder transports the produce to the wholesale markets in Erode, Coimbatore and Kerala.
