Off Season Fruits

There are various fruits available in off season, esp in big cities. How can one have mangoes in january? Is this a result of cold storage or are chemicals used aggressively to prepone the ripening.

Can something be done by FSSAI/agriculture department to address and reduce these practices? more

The only solution to this menace is to stop buying fruits and we find alternatives. Force the culprits to throw them artificial ripened fruits as garbage. We unnecessarily speak a lot and do not act and blame others. Better stop buying such fruits, all the problems will automatically stop. more
