When Chennaites were worrying that the vegetable prices may go up due to rains but surprisingly the rains have left vegetable prices untouched.
“These rains are not torrential. And the rainfall has worked in favour of crops. As a result, the supply has increased,” said Soundarajan a vegetable wholesale market adviser at the Koyambedu market.
However, not all the vegetables have seen a reduction in price, as different vegetables are delivered from different places.
Onions, for instance, usually arrive from Bengaluru and Andhra. The supply was not good enough and their price had skyrocketed a few weeks ago. Now, things are normal.
On the brighter side, there is a drop in vegetable prices by Rs 10 to Rs 15 when compared to the previous month.
Smaller restaurants that had excluded onions from their menu since the price rice last month, have started to include them.
