New Delhi: During the winter season, rising diesel prices have increased vegetable prices. In several Indian cities, the price of tomatoes has crossed Rs 80 per kg. Peas, on the other hand, have increased in price to Rs 100 per kilogramme. Vegetables have grown more expensive due to increased transportation costs due to rising petroleum prices and crop failure due to rainfall in southern regions.
According to the same Bhopal vegetable trader, Rajesh Gupta, vegetable prices rise when transportation costs rise due to increased gasoline prices. Tomatoes cost Rs.80 per kg, onions cost Rs.30 per kg, okra costs Rs.80 per kg, and peas cost Rs.100 per kg. Traders are paid a 5% fee, he said.
Due to crop failure caused by rains in south India, tomato prices have risen. From November through December, tomatoes are sown. In some places, including the country's capital, Delhi, tomato prices have surpassed Rs 100. As a result, the cost of tomatoes has risen beyond the grasp of the average person. Even though demand has grown throughout the wedding season, the price has not decreased. Tomatoes have increased in price to Rs 160 per kilogramme in Chennai. Tomato prices have risen dramatically in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka as a result of flood damage to the tomato crop.
