Why Swapna was paid low price by the trader?

Dear Student,

Swapna was paid low by the trader because she was a poor farmer and the trader was a n influential person in the village.Like other farmers of the village, she was also dependent on the trader for loans,  for cultivation, also to meet other exigencies such as illnesses, children’s school fees. Also, there are times in the year when there is no work and no income for the farmers, so borrowing money is the only means of survival.
