Haveri Garlic Farmers Face Financial Ruin After Price Crash

Haveri Garlic Farmers Face Financial Ruin After Price Crash

Farmers in Haveri, India, who grew garlic are in trouble.

Last year, they made good money, but this year, the price of garlic has fallen a lot.

On top of this, heavy rain ruined the crops.

Garlic bulbs rotted in the ground because of too much rain.

Even after harvesting, they couldn't dry the garlic because of the rain.

Farmers spent money growing the garlic, but now they can't even make that money back.

They are worried about how to pay their loans and support their families.

Local farmer groups want the government to help them.
