Vegetable prices have once again increased in the retail market following a little dip in supply as well as a rise in demand. Most of the green vegetables have seen a 10 to 15 percent price rise in the last week. Traders say the price will come down after Pitru Paksha (Shradh Period).
Normally, a large number of people stop eating non-vegetarian food during the 14 days of Pitra Paksha and they consume vegetables. “Every year, there is a rise in demand for green vegetables and this reflects in price rise,” said a trader from Vegetable Market at Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC).
