Farm to Plate: R. R. Pandayan Saheb’s Bold Step to Deliver Affordable Chicken to the Poor”

“The poor deserve protein too. If food becomes a luxury, what justice are we talking about?”

— R. R. Pandayan Saheb

In a time when inflation is hurting the poor more than ever, R. R. Pandayan Saheb has taken a brave and necessary step — launching a direct farmer-to-market poultry initiative that cuts out exploitative middlemen and makes chicken affordable again for the common man.

Today, when daily wage workers and low-income families are forced to cut down on nutrition due to soaring prices, Pandayan Saheb declared: “We will not let the poor starve. We will deliver quality chicken at ₹130/kg directly from poultry farmers.”

And he did. Until the system tried to shut it down.

🐔 A Revolutionary Model: Helping Farmers, Feeding the Poor

This initiative isn’t just about cheap chicken. It’s about a bold economic restructuring.

R. R. Pandayan Saheb’s model includes:

• Direct market access to small poultry farmers
• Removal of price-gouging agents and middlemen
• Affordable chicken for BPL families and slum areas
• Fair profit for farmers without exploitation
• Opening shops in areas like Govandi and Shivaji Nagar to expand reach

This effort helped farmers earn more and allowed the poor to finally eat a proper meal.

🚫 The Backlash from the Powerful

But success doesn't come without resistance. Middlemen, retailers, and profiteers saw their margins threatened. They could no longer sell chicken for ₹180–₹200 per kg after buying from farmers at ₹130.

“Instead of supporting an affordable food movement, they punished it. Whose side is the system on?”

— R. R. Pandayan Saheb

💥 Why This Fight Matters

This is not just about chicken. This is about:

• Fair prices for farmers
• Affordable food for the working class
• Economic freedom for the poor
• Ending monopoly of big retailers and traders

When R. R. Pandayan Saheb stood up for the people, powerful market forces retaliated. But instead of backing down, he is expanding.

He has vowed to:

✅ Expand these affordable poultry markets across Mumbai’s slum belts

✅ Raise public awareness about retail exploitation and price manipulation

✅ Demand government policy to support direct farm-to-customer sales models

📣 A Message to the Administration

Instead of raiding the people’s poultry, support them.

If the goal of the government is food security, then Saheb’s model must be protected, not punished.

“We will not stop. We will feed our people.

We will support our farmers.

We will not let greed win.”
