Soaring Vegetable Prices in AP Adding to Consumer Woes

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada:Heavy rains and floods that wreaked havoc in several parts of Andhra Pradesh have caused significant damage to vegetable crops, leading to a sharp spike in their prices. Price of tomatoes, which was around ₹32 per kg last week, has increased to ₹40, while onion prices continue to hover around ₹55 to ₹60 per kg at the rythu bazaars. “Damages to standing crops due to floods and rains have resulted in a fall in produce, leading to a steep rise in vegetable prices in retail markets including rythu bazaars alike,” said John Victor, estate officer of Krishna Lanka Rythu Bazaar. “This time, unlike prices of just one or two vegetables, prices of almost all vegetables have shot up over the last week, affecting the poor and middle-class households, who have already been severely hit by floods in the city,” said K.Srinivas Rao, a resident of Gandhi Nagar in Vijayawada.
