The farmers of Chhota Udepur district had a good harvest during the first phase of the pandemic. However, since a lockdown was declared to curb infections, the marketplaces were closed. This podcast voices the difficulties that farmers faced as they could no longer sell their produce in the local haats (markets). Some of them were compelled to sell their produce to private agents at low returns for fear of their grains getting spoilt. Many farmers had taken loans that they could not return as they did not make any gain that could be re-ploughed in the next agriculture cycle. An unforeseen crisis, the podcast helps to understand how farmers were impacted by the pandemic and the challenges they faced.
