Mango farmers’ dump produce on roads, amid price crash

A deepening crisis in Andhra Pradesh’s mango belt has pushed distressed farmers to the brink, with many resorting to dumping truckloads of mangoes on roads in protest. In districts like Chittoor, Tirupati, and parts of Nellore, angry cultivators have staged demonstrations, accusing pulp factories and traders of exploiting them by offering abysmally low prices, far below the government-announced Minimum Support Price (MSP).
