Jaipur Vegetable Prices Soar Ahead of Winter
13 Oct
Summary
- Green peas and garlic prices have significantly increased.
- Seasonal changes have reduced local farm supplies.
- Prices are expected to ease after October 20.
Vegetable prices have surged across Jaipur, with a notable increase in the cost of green peas and garlic. Traders report that supplies from local farms in areas like Chomu and Tonk have decreased due to seasonal changes transitioning into winter. This reduction in arrivals, coupled with heightened consumer demand, has led to elevated prices for many vegetables.
Items such as tomatoes, capsicum, and onions are now more expensive in the retail market. While potatoes, bottle gourd, and guar beans remain stable, many other vegetables have seen their prices nearly double. Traders are forecasting a potential easing of prices after October 20, provided that supply from growing regions recovers sufficiently.
