New Delhi: Small farmers will soon be able to sell fruits and vegetables directly to bulk consumers like organised retailers, hotels and exporters here after Centre today unveiled an unique 'Kisan Mandi' platform that aims to boost income by eliminating middlemen.

With Delhi's daily demand of fruits and vegetables being 15,000 tonnes, the Kisan Mandi -- to be set up in 1.6 acres at Alipur here -- provides an opportunity for small farmers to sell directly to both wholesale and retail consumers.
