The prices of winter vegetables such as green peas, cauliflower, carrot, green chilli and leafy vegetables have not dropped and are being sold at skyrocketing prices. Leafy vegetables like coriander, spinach and methi were being sold at Rs 40-50 per kg in the retail market. He said that the prices of winter vegetables would reduce in the coming weeks because crops in Punjab are ready and will be supplied to the market. He added that many vegetable seedbeds were damaged this year due to the dearth of rain that seriously affected the production of early winter vegetables. Meanwhile, the price of tomatoes and onion which are a staple in every kitchen soared higher in the retail market.
