Raipur: Due to heavy rains and floods in western Indian states like Gujarat and Maharashtra, vegetable prices are increasing drastically in many other states including Chhattisgarh. In the markets of Raipur, the prices of vegetables like tomato, bitter gourd and cabbage have reached 70 to 90 rupees per kg.

T. Srinivas, president of Dumratarai wholesale vegetable market, says that there is no possibility of any reduction in prices at the moment. 70 percent of vegetables are still coming from outside states, which have suffered heavy losses due to floods. Tomato crop has been badly affected in particular, due to which its supply is disrupted.

Due to crop damage at the local level also, farmers are busy preparing for other crops. It is expected that prices may come down around Diwali. At present, the general public is facing these rising prices.
