The Haryana State agricultural marketing board has launched a home delivery service for fruit and vegetables allowing customers to phone in orders from around the country.

According to a report in the Times of India, the service would be toll-free and provide delivery within one week.

'This mobile market, which would be refrigerated, would keep the vegetables and fruits fresh throughout the day,” said T V S N Prasad, chief administrator of the Haryana marketing board. “Also through this service one can book fruits and vegetables well in advance. If one wants to have the speciality of a particular place, like apples from Solan, we would contact the farmers there and the delivery would be made.”
