Bhopal The prices of vegetables are continuously rising. The common man expects cheap vegetables in the month of December, but this time it does not seem so. The new potato has been launched in the market. Better quality in bulk Rs 30. Kilo prices are going on.
Vegetables are available in sufficient quantity in the market but the prices are beyond the reach of the common man. There is some relief from the fact that new potatoes have been launched, which are of better quality and are selling at Rs 26 to Rs 32 per kg. 40 kg of potatoes were sold in Kherchi.

Farm-to-farm deals in potatoes are weak, farmers disappointed
In the beginning of December, traders dealing in potatoes started making deals with farmers on the standing crop fields. At that time, deals were being made for Rs 20 to Rs 25 and inquiries were being made on the farm itself. Farmers seemed happy, but due to the premature start of potato crop in the market within a week, the inquiries from traders on the fields reduced.
