Comment on "No procrastination in administrative moves" (China Daily, May 9)

I appreciate the opinion expressed in the article.

In my hometown in the eastern part of Guangdong province, farmers can sell the bananas they grow only for 0.2 yuan a kilogram.

But when we buy bananas in city markets, the price jumps to at least 1.5 yuan a kg. Neither the farmers nor the consumers are satisfied with this discrepancy.

I hope the government establishes a distribution system for farmers in China. The system should include several important parts, such as logistics, marketing and purchasing unions.

Needless to say, the authorities should bear the cost of building this system to help the farmers. Only in this way can the problem be solved.
