Goa Vegetable Prices Soar as Karnataka Crops Ravaged by Unseasonal Rain

As of November 15, 2025, the prices of vegetables in Goa have seen a significant increase due to the unseasonal rain in Karnataka, the state from which Goa sources most of its vegetable supply. Until last month, the prices were stable despite the unseasonal rain in Goa, but the steady chain of vegetable imports has now been disrupted.

The prices of essential vegetables like tomatoes have risen from Rs 40 to Rs 60 per kg, and carrots have climbed from Rs 60 to Rs 80 per kg. Okra prices have also increased from Rs 80 to Rs 120 per kg, and coriander from Rs 30 to Rs 60. Vendors attribute this spike to the destruction of crops in Karnataka caused by the heavy rain.
