- 5 years ago
India News : Vegetable prices have risen up to 50% in Delhi, Mumbai and other parts of the country as farms near the Yamuna River in northern India are flooded, while dry weather in many parts of western India have hit output.
The deluge in parts of northern India has also wiped out muskmelon and watermelon apart from hurting the mango crop. Traders said it would take two to four weeks for prices to stabilise. In Delhi, prices of brinjal and tomato have doubled, both retailing at 50 a kg, while in Mumbai, bottle gourd, bitter gourd, ridge gourd, round gourd and cucumber have risen over 50%.
