Jaipur: The abrupt weather conditions affected vegetable crops in the state, leading to a rise of 25% in their prices. In the past one week, three spells of hailstorm and rainfall were witnessed which affected the yield of the vegetable crops.
Wholesalers at the Muhana Mandi on Sunday said that the rising trend will continue for the next one month because during this period yield of vegetable crops also decreases.
“Abrupt weather conditions especially hailstorm and rainfall at many places have affected the supply of vegetables. The vegetables like bottle gourd, round gourd, ladyfinger, green chili, tomatoes, brinjal which we usually get from the farms of Sikar, Bassi, Bagru, Kalawar and Chomu have short supply which is the reason why the prices are on the rise,” said Shiv Shankar Sharma.
He added that the supply of majority of the vegetables especially tomatoes, potatoes, onions, coriander, and others has been less for the past one week.
“The tomatoes which were available for Rs 25-30 per kg are now available at Rs 40-50 per kg in the retail market,” said Abdul Sagir, a wholesale trader at the Muhana Mandi.
Wholesale traders also attributed the rise in the prices to the decrease in the yield of the vegetable which is usually seen from the last week of Feb to first week of March.
“For the next two weeks, the rise in the prices of the vegetables will continue. Abrupt weather conditions are of course the key factor, but the other factor is that during this time the supply of the vegetables is decreased,” said Radhey Shyam Saini, a wholesale dealer of vegetables at Hasanpura said.
Retailers said that the prices are increasing every day and after the price they get from the wholesaler their transportation cost and other cost further increases the retail price of the vegetables.
“The worst affected is lemon which is available in Rs 120 to Rs 150 per kg and is likely to go further,” said a retailer.
