Every village secretariat should have a van and they will be useful for the transportation of vegetables, milk, fruits, eggs and other things to the Janata Bazaars. These vans will also be useful to transport the goods from the warehouses or to the nearby agricultural markets.

Janata Bazaars will be managed by Self Help Groups. He said that cold storages should be constructed in every constituency. These cold storages will benefit the farmers. YS Jagan also instructed that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farm produce should be ensured.
