"Lemons Have Never Touched Rs 300 A KG": Why Prices Are Going Up
NDTV
Not just lemons, prices of other vegetables too have been going up. And the traders say it's not just because of fuel price hike.
The price of lemon has seen a huge spike in the last week, with the citrus fruit selling at around Rs 350 a kg in Ghaziabad wholesale vegetable market. Traders are surprised and say such prices are unprecedented.
According to news agency ANI, lemon is being sold at Rs 10 per kg in Hyderabad. In Gujarat, it is being sold at Rs 200 per kg.
"The prices have gone really high. Earlier, we used to purchase a whole lemon sack for Rs 700 which now costs Rs 3,500. We are selling a single lemon for Rs 10 and nobody is ready to buy it. Nobody is ready to accept that the prices have gone up and are leaving without the purchase of the lemons," a vendor told ANI.
