Arhtiyas, also known as "middlemen" or "bichauliya," assist the transaction between farmers and actual purchasers, which more closely resembles that of a broker. A private trader, processor, exporter, or government organization like the Food Corporation of India might be the buyer (FCI).
Arhtiyas also support the farmers. An Arhtiya's revenue is based on the volume and price of produce delivered via him, aligning his interests with the farmer's.
Synonyms: Mediator, middleman
