In India, it's hard to bypass the middle-man. Unless you're willing to drive miles to the nearest village mandi. And even there, you'll still have to deal with an aggregator.
Buying direct from the farmer is also impractical as he has say an acre of cabbage. He'd rather sell it at his farm, as a lot, to some one for X rupees rather than 100 people, at his farm, for X+2 rupees. It's too much of a headache for him to deal with that many customers.
Then again, I could be wrong.
