Al Sailiya Central Market has been witnessing an abundant supply of vegetables of different types over the past few days. This led to a drop in prices for most products. The continuous supply of locally produced vegetables has helped bring the retail prices of most varieties down by around 20%, compared to the rates seen during the month of Ramadan.
The vegetable prices posted at the market recently included QR10-20 for a box of cucumber depending on the quality, QR15-18 for a box of tomatoes (which may go down to QR5), QR 25-30 for a box of green peas, QR30-40 for okra and QR 15-25 for black eggplants. However, some particular types of vegetables have seen an increase in prices, such as zucchini, which was being sold for QR40-50 a box.
