Kolkata: After a short break, the price of vegetables is in the increase in the retail market again with the gap of demands that evaporate due to large damage to stand plants caused by rain.
On Friday, most of the vegetable prices jumped by Rs 20-Rs 30 per kg compared to what they were at the beginning of the week, when the supply line was still strong despite heavy rain.
“Supply is largely supported by harvest plants.
But after heavy rain, plants in South Bengal have been damaged, creating a supply line problem,” said Kamal de, President of the Bengal Vendor Association.
Supply can be beaten further if the rain continues, the merchant said.
“Most farmers make sales of wallets from their products from fields.
Some of them are taken to the city and sold with premiums,” added De.
“Vegetable prices have risen again.
LPG prices are at all time heights.
The price of mustard oil and spices continue to surge without interruption.
The kitchen budget is literally burning.
Come to the market is no longer fun but a nightmare.
We must burn a big hole in the pocket We, “said Anirban Guha, an employee of a private insurance company.
“The quality of the product is not too good because some vegetables that hit the market are taken from the laying field.
They cannot be stored for a long time,” said Tarun Das, a retailer at Jadubabur Bazar.
“Vegetables such as Parwal (Pumpkin Pumping), which are sold at RS 35-RS 40 Kg, are now sold at Rs 70,” said Gour Saha, a wholesaler in Kidderpore Market.
“Bitter pumpkin, which is sold at Rs 40 A Kg, now sells at Rs 60,” he added.
“Spanges of spacious agricultural fields throughout Bongaipur, Canning, Bongaon, Basirhat, Arambag and Danankuni – from where we get vegetable supply to our wholesale market and retail – still under water and vegetables rot on the ground.” Heavy rain is extraordinary in A very short time span took the big victims of plants to stand, “said Gautam Sinha, a wholesaler in Jinjira Bazar.
