Vegetable prices fall as winter supply arrives

Wholesale prices for tomatoes and onions in Karachi fell for the second week in a row as the first winter crop reached the market.

Traders at the main wholesale market said lorries were arriving from nearby districts every morning, and the glut had pushed prices down sharply.

“The price at the mandi changes in a day. The price at the shop changes in a week.”

Why your shop is still expensive

In neighbourhood shops, prices have fallen less. Shopkeepers say they bought stock at higher rates last week and need to sell it first.

Traders expect prices to stay low until fog starts slowing lorries on the highways in December.
