A good harvest of vegetables across Maharashtra and neighbouring Karnataka has seen prices of almost all vegetables come down significantly in Pune, a trend which traders in the city’s wholesale market say will continue till the end of January.
The drop comes after two continuous months of high vegetable prices as the harvest-ready crop was severely damaged due to the heavy rains in September and October. Pune’s market normally sees arrivals also from districts like Nashik, Satara, Sangli, Nashik, Ahmednagar as well as from Karnataka.
