I agree with Rani. There should be more Co-operatives Retail Shops to buy from farmers and fishermen directly at a fair price and sell to consumers also at a fair price. The food prices would then reduce hugely to the benefit of both the consumers and the farmers and fishermen. The middleman mafia should be erradicated because so far they have been calling the shots and fattening themselves at the expense of the farmers, fishermen and consumers.
