The famous red chili market of Khalra, which was once a major hub in Asia with daily transactions of 10-15 trucks, is now facing a decline. Factors such as the massive price drop in 1992 and 1994, high cultivation costs, labor shortages, and lack of fair pricing have pushed farmers away from chili farming. Once a bustling center for traders from Delhi and UP, the market now wears a deserted look as the business has shrunk significantly over the decades. https://www.punjabitribuneonline.com/news/punjab/khalras-famous-pepper-market-on-the-verge-of-desolation/ #Creator program
