Those smooth expressways with fancy signages are becoming Agri Logistic’s Highway Robbery. Every move in logistics add ₹3 to ₹7, and it’s not the farmer but may be the toll gate and fuel pump, waving from the sidelines.
Yeah, great for Instagram reels — but terrible for your ₹40-a-kilo ATTA & Allu. With at least 3 to 5 handling points in our “modern” food chains, low-value items like grains, onions, and sabzis; the very backbone of our everyday kitchen — end up carrying cost burdens they were never meant to. Add toll taxes, skyrocketing diesel prices, and logistics FAT CATs, and you’ll see why a ₹25 Wheat turns into ₹50 by the time it hits your plate.
70% of your grocery budget is quietly bleeding into transport not nourishment.
When fuel eats more than food, the system’s broken. We need highways and transport systems that carry food, not inflate it.
