Kolkata: With a stable diesel price increase and plant damage stands due to excessive rain in October, the price of a number of vegetables and fruits has a centuries – and even a double century – and has begun to burn big holes in the consumer pocket .
Vegetables such as tomatoes, drums (Data Sajne), capsicum and nuts have reached a fairly affordable price for middle-class consumers.
“I used to buy 1kg of tomatoes every day alternative.
Now I buy 500 grams a week,” said Anirban Ghatak, an employee of the state government living in Parnashree.
Essential vegetables every day such as egg plants and parwes hover around Rs 100 and the price of chili has passed the sign of Rs 150.
Fruits such as Kashmir Apple, Pear and Delima floated around Rs 200 per kg.
“To cut an angle to achieve a balance in a budget, we rarely buy these fruits.
Most of the fruits are very expensive today,” Sunita Iyer said, whose mother was not healthy for the past few days.
Since Mahalahaya, the price of most fruit rose sharply due to supply problems.
A large number of fruits are damaged due to rain before their time and excessive.
“We judge fruits and after sorting, a large amount of fruit wasted in vain.
Thus, multilevel fruits come more expensive,” said Sahhajada Alam, a fruit trader in garawan.
MD Nayim, a Thakur Thakurkuruese trader Bazar, added: “We don’t have facilities to preserve fruits.
We sell fruits on the day we get a consignment.”
