Al observar esos ricos tomates 🍅 me pongo a pensar en el trabajo tan laborioso que tiene el productor del campo para ofrecernos ese preciado alimento.
Son esas manos bendecidas las que día a día con su esfuerzo y su arduo trabajo labran la tierra y atienden sus plantas para que podamos llevar a nuestras mesas este rico vegetal.
No obstante, no siempre obtienen un buen pago por sus cosechas y muchas veces tienen que bajarle tanto su precio al mayor, para poder obtener un poco de ganancia o para recuperar la inversión.
Este año los productores de tomates de San Fernando de Apure, Venezuela, tuvieron una producción tan abundante que por un lado fue una bendición al poder acceder al producto a precios super económicos; pero por otro lado tuvieron que ofertarlo hasta en 2.5$ la cesta. Yo me pregunto... Quién se benefició allí?...
Obviamente el productor no fue el que salió mas beneficiado, pienso que el más ganador fue el revendedor. Yo llegué a comprar 01 Kg de tomate a 5 Bs, que es aproximadamente 0,20 $. Saquen sus conclusiones.
Esta época de cosecha es la más apropiada para preparar salsas y envasarlas al vacío así podemos mantenerla durante un largo tiempo ya que el resto del año el precio del tomate se eleva considerablemente al no producirse en la región.
Particularmente me encanta preparar las salsas para pizza y también acostumbro a comerlos con ensaladas y hasta como un segundo relleno de las arepas, queda exquisito.
Ojalá existan programas sociales de apoyo al productor del campo que lo ayuden a sacar sus cosechas y ofertarlas en otras ciudades de manera que puedan obtener mejores ganancias.
Esta es mi participacion semanal en el Concurso Observa Piensa Escribe del 27-05-2023 hasta el 02/06/2023 puedes unirte a este grupo de escritores creativos y participar en los retos semanales de la comunidad. Saludos 🤗

My participation in the Observe, Think, Write contest: Tomato at almost free price
When I look at those rich tomatoes 🍅 I start thinking about the laborious work that the producer of the field has to offer us this precious food.
It is those blessed hands that day by day with their effort and hard work till the soil and tend their plants so that we can bring to our tables this rich vegetable.
However, they do not always get a good payment for their crops and many times they have to lower their price to the wholesaler in order to make a little profit or to recover their investment.
This year the tomato growers of San Fernando de Apure, Venezuela, had such an abundant production that on the one hand it was a blessing to be able to access the product at super cheap prices; but on the other hand they had to offer it at up to $2.5 per basket. I ask myself... Who benefited there?...
Obviously the producer was not the one who benefited the most, I think that the winner was the reseller. I got to buy 01 Kg of tomato at 5 Bs, which is approximately 0.20 $. Draw your own conclusions.
This harvest time is the most appropriate to prepare sauces and vacuum pack them so we can keep them for a long time because the rest of the year the price of tomatoes rises considerably as they are not produced in the region.
I particularly love to prepare pizza sauces and I also use to eat them with salads and even as a second filling for arepas, it is exquisite.
I wish there were social programs to support rural producers that would help them to sell their crops in other cities so that they can obtain better profits.
This is my weekly participation in the Observe, Think, Write Contest from 27-05-2023 to 02/06/2023 you can join this group of creative writers and participate in the weekly challenges of the community. Greetings 🤗

In my country, resellers have been cut out of the picture. At the farmers market sellers has to be authorized and you can only get authorization, if you have land, which proves you're the farmer. The other way is to have a company, with all the authorizations.
I wish this law would be implemented in more countries as farmers are very often ripped off and get very little for their products.
Hi @erikah you are right, the producers are the most exploited, it is difficult for them to take the products from the countryside to the city, that is why the resellers come to their sectors and buy the product to resell it. Something similar happened a few days ago with cheese, but they agreed on a minimum selling price standard for distributors. It is necessary for countries to create regulations in this regard.
