Скачать или смотреть Makhana: The Dark Truth Behind Bihar's 'Black Diamond' Superfood | India Today

This report examines the journey of makhana, or fox nut, from the ponds of Bihar to its status as a global superfood. It investigates the stark contrast between the high market price of the product, which recently received a GI tag, and the minimal earnings of the Malla community harvesters who are paid as little as 40 rupees per kilo of seeds. The process involves dangerous dives into muddy, snake-infested ponds. The supply chain, involving multiple intermediaries like processors, wholesalers, and stockists, leads to price manipulation and thin margins for the cultivators. This investigation highlights a broken system, forcing workers to migrate in search of better wages. As one report concludes, for the harvesters, it's a raw deal, stating, "A superfood for the world, but still a raw deal for those who harvest it."
