Heavy rain caused late deliveries and spoilage of produce in the national capital

Heavy rain and floods in Delhi have disrupted fruit and vegetable markets, causing late deliveries and spoilage of produce. The national capital has been grappling with the impact of these natural calamities, leading to challenges in maintaining the quality of goods.

While prices are declining at the Azadpur Fruits and Sabji Mandi, the largest market in Asia, local markets are witnessing a surge in rates. The adverse weather conditions have hampered transportation and storage facilities, resulting in the deterioration of perishable items.

Traders and vendors are facing difficulties in sourcing fresh produce, impacting the availability and affordability of fruits and vegetables for consumers. Efforts are underway to mitigate the situation and restore normalcy to market operations.
