The co-operative stores chosen by the government to sell vegetables at affordable prices, do not have adequate space to stock enough vegetables according to traders of Vashi’s Agricultural Produce and Marketing Committee (APMC), who are overseeing the entire operation. Traders from APMC who are present at the stores to monitor the delivery and purchases of these lower-priced vegetables, feel the space provided to them is so small that they cannot stock enough to meet customer demands.
