KARACHI: While recovering from multiple ailments at home, my heart goes out to the poor farmers when I hear a vegetable hawker shout in the street: “Tamatar 100 rupay ke paanch kilo” (buy tomatoes at five kilograms for Rs100.)
Similarly, potatoes and onions are available at the same rate: Rs20 a kilogram. Other vegetables are also very cheap these days: cauliflower is Rs50 a kilo, for instance. Good quality mutter (peas) are selling at Rs50 or Rs40 a kilo. Even carrots are selling three kilos at Rs100. A few off-season vegetables such as okra, bitter gourd are costlier than usual, of course.
