- Market Yard in Pune is currently experiencing a cabbage crisis, with prices dropping significantly due to a surplus of supply from local districts as well as Gujarat and Karnataka.
- The wholesale price of cabbage has plummeted to just ₹5 to ₹6 per kilogram, causing distress among farmers who are struggling to cover their production and transportation costs.
- Despite retail prices ranging from ₹10 to ₹12 per kilogram, local farmers are still facing losses as the market remains flooded with cabbage.
- Two months ago, cabbage prices were as high as ₹20 to ₹25 per kilogram, prompting farmers to increase production. However, the influx of cabbage from various sources has led to a sharp decline in prices.
- Traders have observed that goods coming in from other states are becoming increasingly expensive, and with demand staying low, they anticipate a decrease in supply from external sources in the near future.
