Most of the vendors are not farmers . One can say that farmers need not have licences but vendors must have the licence. In fact having licence will help them, because they may be spending more than what they are supposed to with a licence. But the procedure to get licence keeping them away. more

My view is that vegetables and fruits (V&F) vendors will not be able to sell us V&F which have been ripened with 'masalas' if these are monitored at some point in the supply chain. So ensure that FSAAI monitors wholesalers. This entire season I have been buying mangoes which look perfectly fine on the outside but are over-ripe once cut. So we've had increased incidents of gastro-viral infections.
