Actually a combination of reasons. our fam production is good. The vegetable prices have going up steadily and now particularly sky rocketed. * Steady increase: due to transport charges hike - result of steady fuel charge hike. * Middlemen grab the profits. As Mr. Adiyodi mentioned farmer gets Rs. X for vegetable end customer pays 2X PLUS. * compare prices 5 years back to now: Most widely consumed vegetables on a daily basis are, Onion, Tomatoes and Potatoes. 5 years back These costed between Rs.25 and 30. These have gone up to 60 and 70. Other fresh Indian vegetables like Brinjal, bottle Goads Rs.3o to 35 Now 70 to 80 . English vegetables like Beans carrot Rs. 40 to over Rs. 100. This is all too big an increase for common man. It is the responsibility of the government to control. more
