Vegetable prices drop as strike loses strength in Maharashtra, India
“Even though supply is still short, the prices have reduced. Customers had bought extra stock earlier. Few bought vegetables over the past three days owing to the rise in prices. Today, however, there has been a substantial increase in the supply, compared to the past few days,” said Gangadhar, a vegetable vendor from Matunga market.
Vendors at the APMC market in Turbhe, Navi Mumbai, reported that supply had returned to normal and prices had reduced on Wednesday. Ashok Walanj, APMC director who also represents the onion and potato market, said the market received 125 trucks carrying onions.
“Over the past few days, there was a shortage in supply. Today, however, we received a good supply of onions and potatoes. We got onions from all over Maharashtra except Nashik. We also got 50 trucks of potatoes. Prices are low,” he said.
