Adani & Himachal Apples| WHAT DOES THIS DATA SAY | EPISODE 80

Why this episode?

Adani Agro, an Adani Group company has been operating for the past 16 years. The main business of the company is in warehousing, procurement and distribution of apples in Himachal Pradesh.
There is an overload of news about the Adani group these days. In all this din, small yet important news gets clouded or doesn’t reach the public.

Background

This episode in primarily to draw attention towards the plight of Apple growers of Himachal Pradesh, who have been struggling on multiple fronts. Be climate change, issue of subsidies or the increased GST on packaging material. Then there is the issue of falling prices of apples leaving the growers in a hapless condition.

What has the Adani Group got to do with this issue?

Adani Agro Fresh has been procuring majority of the Apple production in Himachal Pradesh and then marketings them through their own national distribution channels. Since they have become the largest single buyer, the company is in a position to dictate the market prices. Over the years, in spite of rising costs, the company has been slashing Apple prices.
I bring to you the story from the growers’ point of view. The data for this episode has been mostly complied from newspaper reports. No one from the Adani group has been interviewed to get their point of view.
