AP Mango Farmers Struggle as Prices Crash Despite Government Intervention

Mango farmers in Andhra Pradesh are struggling because they have too many mangoes and not enough buyers.

The price they can sell the mangoes for has gone down.

Part of the problem is that fewer mangoes are being exported because shipping is more expensive, and domestic demand for processed mango products like juice has fallen because of new taxes.

The government is trying to help by buying some mangoes, but farmers are still worried about making money.

Some farmers suggest that a local temple could buy the mangoes to help, and they want lasting solutions to prevent future problems.
