Beijing: China is currently going through the biggest crisis the country has seen since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in 2019. Not only did the government’s zero covid policy not work, the spread of the virus became rampant. Hospitals are overflowing with virus patients. In the meantime, footage of dead bodies being piled up in graveyards and mortuaries also emerged. The Chinese government is still unwilling to release the exact death toll. In the meantime, reports are coming out that lemons are expensive in the country.
International media reports that the price of lemons has skyrocketed. There is a large demand in Beijing and Shanghai. The demand among people has increased because lemons are believed to be able to boost the body’s immune system. Being a storehouse of vitamin C, studies have shown that lemons can fight disease. In China, lemon was charged at Rs 70 per kg. But after the spread of Corona, the demand increased and the price went up to Rs 142. The prices of oranges and pears have also increased. People are looking for natural ways to boost their immunity in the face of increasing epidemics.
