Maharashtra Vegetables Rates Increase In Monsoon

Heavy Pre-Monsoon Rains Disrupt Supply, Hit Household Budgets

Heavy pre-monsoon rains across Maharashtra and several other parts of the country have brought a welcome drop in temperature, making the weather more pleasant. However, the same rains have significantly disrupted daily life, particularly by affecting the supply of essential commodities—most notably, vegetables.

The early downpours have led to a sharp decline in the arrival of fresh vegetables in wholesale markets. As a result, prices have surged dramatically, putting pressure on household budgets. Among the most affected are everyday essentials like coriander and fenugreek, whose skyrocketing prices have left consumers stunned.

With supply chains hampered and transportation delayed due to waterlogging and adverse road conditions, vendors are struggling to maintain regular stock. The sudden spike in prices has become a major concern for families, especially homemakers managing tight monthly grocery budgets.

If the rains continue at this pace, experts warn that prices could remain high until the supply situation stabilizes in the post-monsoon weeks.
