New Delhi: Lemon, which sold at Rs 70 a kg till a month ago, has gone up to Rs 400 a kg. That is, now lemon is selling 3 times more expensive than petrol-diesel. The recent thing is that people are buying lemons according to the piece instead of buying according to the kilogram. In Rajasthan, the price of lemon has reached the sky. Jodhpur and Jaipur have the highest prices from Rs 350 to Rs 400 per kg. At the same time, 240 lemons are being sold in Chittorgarh and 250 per kg in Kota. Let us know that until a month ago, lemon was selling at Rs 70 per kg in Jaipur, which has now become Rs 400 per kg.
Not only retail but there has also been a tremendous jump in the wholesale prices of lemons. In March, the wholesale price of lemon in Jaipur was Rs 60 per kg, which went up from Rs 250 to Rs 300 per kg in April. Similarly, in Jodhpur, the wholesale price went up to Rs 60 to Rs 320. The price of lemon has broken all the records so far. The lemon crop has suffered a lot due to unseasonal rains in many parts of the country including Madras, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The production has come down against the need, so the prices have gone up to record-breaking.
In fact, at this time there is also Navratri and the month of Ramadan is also going on. Lemon is also used more during fasting and fasting. Production is low and demand is high. This is also one of the reasons for the increase in the price of lemons. With the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel, the freight has also increased. Its effect is being seen in the prices of all fruits and vegetables, including lemon. Lemon is used in soft drinks as well as many medicines and food products. Lemons from the fields are reaching the factories directly. Due to this, too, according to the common need, lemon is not reaching the market.
