The prices of vegetables have come down by at least Rs. five to Rs. 10 when compared to last week.One of the reasons for the dip is increase in supply as some of the vegetables have to be harvested as it could perish quickly in this climate.
Another reason is that sales are usually low in this season as people tend to eat less and buy less.
The prices could stay low for another 10 to 15 days.
