With the advent of festive season, the price of vegetables and fruits began increasing in Noida, making it difficult for the residents to strike a proper balance in their daily budget.
A huge jump has been noticed in the price of vegetables and fruits that are available at Safal stores, as well as those stocked in the retail outlets. A trader said vegetables and fruits have become expensive due to the continuous rains Delhi-NCR witnessed in the last one week. Some of the produces got rotten even before they could be sent to the market. The rates -- usually under control at Safal stores -- have increased as well. Here is a list for comparison: Rates at Safal stores: Potato - Rs 18 to 22 per kg Cabbage - Rs 98 per kg Brinjal - Rs 45 per kg Tomato - Rs 54 per kg Retailer's rate Potato - Rs 25-30 per kg Cabbage - Rs 100 per kg Brinjal - Rs 80 per kg Tomato - Rs 50 per kg Nevertheless, the people looked upset with most of them struggling to deal with the rise in the price. --IANS pkt/pgh ( 195 Words) 2022-09-30-20:42:03 (IANS)
