Inflation News: Inflation is constantly rising across the country these days. After oil, gas, petrol, and diesel, the prices of vegetables are also rising. Let's find out why green vegetables are becoming so expensive.

The kitchen budget will also be affected due to the increase in the price of green vegetables.

Vegetable Price Hike: Indian kitchen budgets have been disrupted over the past few months. First, the rise in crude oil prices led to a rise in the prices of everything from groceries to daily essentials. This was due to the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US. Now, the monsoon season is also causing a significant increase in vegetable prices.

Coriander and chillies will not be available for free.
Every woman, man, or child has become used to getting coriander and chillies for free while buying vegetables. But now this habit will have to be changed. Because now even a small bunch of coriander is going to be very expensive. Due to heavy rains, the supply of coriander is getting affected, due to which its price has reached 220 to 230 rupees per kg in some markets. Its price in the wholesale market is being reported to be around 175 rupees per kg. At the same time, the price of chillies has also increased drastically. Its supply is also getting affected due to rains.

These vegetables also became expensive
Not only coriander but ginger, garlic and onion have also become expensive as compared to last year. The price of ginger increased to 83.62% in July, whereas it was 50.41% in June. Similarly, the price of garlic increased from 17.93% to 35.36%. Onion has also become expensive. Its price was 22.54% in July, which was only 4.73% in June.

However, it's not as if all vegetable prices are rising. Some vegetables have seen a decline; for example, potato prices have fallen by 16.56% year-on-year. Tomatoes and peas have also become cheaper than before. The price increase is only for green vegetables, as these vegetables spoil quickly during the rainy season .

Rain is a major reason
Most vegetables like coriander, potatoes, and onions come from Nashik in Maharashtra. Major areas like Nashik are currently experiencing heavy rainfall, disrupting the supply of vegetables from farms to markets. Coriander is a perishable crop, so even a slight disruption in its supply can cause prices to rise sharply. Similarly, onions spoil quickly when soaked in rain, leading to higher prices.
