On June 30, extreme weather in India has continued recently. The continuous high temperature and rainfall have seriously affected the growth of crops, resulting in a decline in fruit and vegetable production, interruption of logistics, soaring fruit and vegetable sales prices, and affecting people’s lives.
Since the beginning of June, India has continued to experience high temperatures, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in many places, resulting in reduced crop production. On the one hand, waterlogging and floods caused by continuous rainfall have reduced crop yields. On the other hand, heavy rains have also brought challenges to transportation and logistics. In some areas, bridges have been washed away and roads have been flooded, making transportation difficult.
According to the forecast of the India Meteorological Department, due to the influence of the monsoon, many states in India will continue to receive rainfall. Among them, the western, eastern, and northeastern regions will experience heavy rainfall in the next few days, and the prices of fruits and vegetables may further rise.
Prices of tomatoes and other vegetables have risen sharply across India. Affected by multiple factors such as heavy rainfall, vegetable prices across India have risen.
