Vegetable Prices Shoot Up in Vijayawada

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: Untimely rains and extreme temperatures, coupled with a dip in production, have led to a two-fold increase in prices of vegetables in Vijayawada city. “With a mismatch in the supply and demand, prices of vegetables such as chilli, tomato and beans sold at rythu bazaars have increased,” explained John Victor, estate officer of Krishna Lanka Rythu Bazaar. Rythu bazaars in Vijayawada get vegetables, such as brinjal, okra, guar, bottle gourd and snake gourd, from farmers, who cultivate these crops in mandals surrounding the city, such as Mylavaram, Mangalagiri and Duggirala. The price of chilli, which otherwise sells for Rs 40 per kg has gone up to Rs 90 in rythu bazaars, following a delay in arrival of chilli loads from Kadapa. Similarly, prices of tomato, a regular ingredient in the kitchen, has nearly doubled from Rs 25 to Rs 44 per kg in rythu bazaars, while it is Rs 50 in the retail markets.
