Why is it a night market?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since women have to travel great distances to get here, it is evening or even night by the time they reach and selling begins only after that.<\/p>\n

What improvement would you like to see in the market?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The storage sheds for women processors are being used by the wholesale traders. We need storage for our stocks, especially during the rains.<\/p>\n

What major costs do you incur?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from processing costs, we incur costs of unloading (Rs 5 \/US$ 0.1 ), market fees (Rs.25 per large sack \/US$ 0.5), and transportation (Rs.40 to Rs.50 per basket \/US$ 0.8-1.07), as well as weekly expenses for bamboo baskets (Rs.70 per piece\/ US$ 1.5).<\/p>\n

How do you deal with issues of harassment if any?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most women travel in groups in a hired van from the village. The market is quite safe and we do not experience harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":366,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"region":[],"source":[],"country":[],"state":[],"city":[],"yemaya_category":[5257],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yemaya\/45369"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yemaya"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/yemaya"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yemaya\/45369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65265,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yemaya\/45369\/revisions\/65265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=45369"},{"taxonomy":"source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/source?post=45369"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=45369"},{"taxonomy":"state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/state?post=45369"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=45369"},{"taxonomy":"yemaya_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yemaya_category?post=45369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
