Traders say there has been widespread crop damage affecting quality of vegetables
Heavy rains, lashing the city and other parts of the State for over two weeks, have led to widespread crop damage, especially that of vegetables. This, in turn, has driven prices up. Tomatoes, carrots and capsicum have already breached the ₹100 mark per a kilo in the retail market, putting them out of reach for many families. Some varieties of coriander, too, are retailing at anywhere between ₹90-₹100 a bunch.
