Summary:
The main reason of the price rise is a dip in production in major vegetable-growing areas of Maharashtra such as Nashik, Pune, Kolhapur and Marathwada. AdvertisingWhile Pune receives an additional supply of green vegetables from neighbouring states, the strain in the supply chain may continue to keep the prices up. Crop failure in Nashik and Marathwada has led to the price rise, said Salve. The price rise is mainly due to the dip in production, with many poultry farmers winding up their operations due to water stress in Nashik and Marathwada. Vishnu Salve, president of the Pimpri market, said leafy vegetables like coriander and spinach have seen the highest price escalation..
