According to Live Minute, the government of Pakistan is now preparing to import onions and tomatoes from India as a result of a significant increase in the cost of produce in many major cities, including Lahore and Islamabad. According to market traders, crops have suffered greatly as a result of the flooding, and supply isn't keeping up with demand. This is the cause of the exponential rise in fruit and vegetable prices in the retail market.
It is well known that on Sunday, tomato prices in the Lahore market hit 500 rupees per kg and 400 rupees for onions. According to a wholesale trader in Lahore, the product's wholesale price might be as low as Rs 100 in some locations, but as soon as it reaches the retail market, the price jumps by four to five times. He claimed that the production of vegetables has been severely hampered as a result of the increasing flood situation in Balochistan, Sindh, and South Punjab, and that there is a strong likelihood that their prices will rise even higher in the days to come.
