Prices of vegetables have shot up in Coimbatore in the last one week mainly because of drop in arrivals.
The prices are high at the wholesale market and it is difficult to get a lot of vegetable varieties, said Palanisamy, who sells vegetables on his two-wheeler.
“Wholesale traders are scared of taking delivery of vegetables as they are not sure if they can sell the entire quantity,” said M. Rajendran, president of the TK Market vegetable traders association. There is a sharp fall in arrivals of vegetables such as bottle gourd, bitter gourd, etc from the villages around Coimbatore. Many of the farmers have suffered crop damage because of the rain. Potato, big onion and small onion are priced at ₹ 40 a kg in the wholesale market, compared to ₹ 20 to ₹ 30 before Deepavali. Carrot costs ₹ 40 a kg, beetroot ₹ 30 a kg, brinjal ₹ 30 to ₹ 60 and drumstick ₹ 120 (wholesale prices).
