An Indian living in Norway has sparked a discussion after highlighting the stark difference in vegetable prices between Norway and India . Taking to X, the man, identified as Vinod, shared a video showing the prices of several vegetables at a Norwegian store and compared them with what consumers typically pay in Indian metros.
However, rather than simply comparing the cost of groceries, Vinod used the difference to raise questions about whether Indian farmers receive a fair price for their produce. The post quickly drew reactions, with users offering different explanations for the price gap and debating whether low retail prices necessarily benefit Indian consumers. One user wrote, “Farmers don’t get fair price, people in city pays more compared to the income. The only people earning are the middle man controlled by politicians by controlling the prices. “Price of any commodity is based on supply and demand.
When 50% population is involved only in agriculture then you can never expect a good payout to them. Plus out of the remaining population only 5% has enough wealth to spend generously on daily food items,” commented another.
“It’s not about Norway’s cost structure, salaries, imports and so on… it just makes me wonder if we’re paying our farmers fair price, enough for their hard work in India,” he wrote, asking users whether India is “failing our farmers”.
