From where I’m standing, it’s the big traders with full godowns who gain, and small farmers like me, who listened to the government’s push to grow more wheat, are left holding the sack. We shifted from our usual moong dal to wheat last season, betting on the export market, and now the ban has prices here tumbling. My profit is stuck in the FCI warehouse, and my son’s next hostel fee feels like a mountain. Everyone talks about the consumer in the city losing out on cheaper *khann*, but they don’t see the loss in our fields, where the harvest feels like a loan we can’t repay.
