Plants withering in hot summer vegetable prices on the rise!
Even though the hottest part of the summer is yet to arrive, it is already a scorching climate.
The vegetable vendors say that it is inevitable to expect price increase for the vegetables.
A representative of the All India Vegetable Planters
Association informed that May & June are the testing months for vegetable
sales. With the prevailing dry weather and failure of rain/monsoon and the
summer beating at 103/104 degrees, vegetable production is severely affected.
Failure to protect the vegetables from withering under the scorching sun leads
to a lot of waste. So, there are prospects of a heavy price rise for
vegetables.
Chennai Koyambedu market gets the vegetables from different parts of Andhra & Karnataka. The prices of beans & carrots were higher.
