Solan apple payment crisis deepens as growers await dues; APMC oversight under scrutiny

Solan, Sep 24 (UNI) A payment crisis at the Solan Fruit and Vegetable Market has intensified, with 28 commission agents (arhtiyas) facing court proceedings over alleged unpaid dues to apple growers, raising questions over the effectiveness of regulatory oversight at the government-regulated market.
Apple growers who sold their produce at the Solan terminal market during the previous season said substantial payments remain outstanding. The affected farmers have submitted complaints to the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC), but allege that their grievances have not been resolved within a definite timeframe.
The delayed payments have created financial difficulties for growers, who depend on proceeds from the apple harvest to meet year-round expenses, including labour, fertilisers, pesticides, packaging and transportation.
