Although, usually the prices of vegetables in the market sees a dip during the period between July and August (month of Aashada), this year, the prices have seen a hike in the last 10 days.
Recent rains have led to crop loss and a fall in supply, driving the prices northwards. Traders say the prices are only expected to go up further by the upcoming festival and wedding season (month of Shravana starting July 29).
As always, beans are at the top of the chart with a wholesale price of ₹70 and around ₹85 per kilogram at retail markets.
