Vegetable prices skyrocketed in Kailali-Kanchanpur

Kailali: Due to continuous rains in Kailali, Kanchanpur district, the local productivity of vegetables has decreased significantly, while the prices of vegetables are increasing day by day. Shivraj Joshi, who came to buy vegetables at Ramjanki vegetable market located in Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City-2, said that the price of vegetables has increased rapidly in the market.

He estimates that the price of vegetables has increased since it started raining continuously. Vegetable traders say that due to the incessant rains for almost a week, the prices of vegetables have increased as vegetables from different places could not reach their destination. They said that the rain has reduced vegetable production.

It is difficult to get fresh vegetables in the market because the rains did not reach the vegetable market from different places.
