Vegetable prices explode on
The Hindu
We are helpless, say suppliers as they blame it on galloping fuel prices
Chittoor district woke up to exploding prices of vegetables on Wednesday with even the last grade tomatoes and onions costing ₹60 a kg. With the prices beyond the purchasing power of a common man, there were no takers for the vegetables on the festival day.
Chittoor district makes a phenomenal contribution to the domestic supply of vegetables, including tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, several gourds and beans, thanks to the congenial climate in the western mandals.
The good rains since June initially presented an air of hope among the people that the prices of vegetables would be under control. But their hopes were soon dashed, as the galloping prices of the petrol and diesel prices had a debilitating effect on the transport of vegetables.
