Vegetables: Prices Declines
10 years ago - April 06, 2014
Slight decline is expected till winter. This is what provides Kreepaloo Sunghoon, president of Small Planters' Welfare Fund , compared to the price of vegetables. A decrease of approximately 10% to 12% is expected over the next ten days, he says. Provided that there is no heavy rain.
" Les pluies de la semaine dernière n’ont pas été bénéfiques pour les légumes filants, notamment les pipengailles, patol et calebasses, entre autres. Du coup, les plants produisent moins de fruits, "says Kreepaloo Sunghoon.
However, this decline is not for pommes d’amour and margozes says Issoop Soobedar, president of the Market Traders Association . "Currently, it takes between Rs 70 and Rs 80 per pound of pommes d’amour and between Rs 40 and Rs 50 for a pound of margoze, ". The rains here too damaged flowers and therefore fruit slow to develop. According Kreepaloo Sunghoon, do not expect a return to normal within 15 to 20 days.
The arrival of winter, however, should see a significant drop in the prices of vegetables because " ceux-ci sont en abondance à cette période de l’année. Et contrairement à l’été, les légumes sont moins embêtés par les parasites en hiver" says Kreepaloo Sunghoon.
