Virudhunagar–In Virudhunagar, till last week, ginger was sold at Rs.70 per kg and beans, which were sold at Rs.60, are now being sold at Rs.100 each.
Ginger is selling at Rs 100 per kg, which has gone up by Rs 30 due to reduced arrivals from Kerala.
Karthi Gajamurugan, a vegetable vendor from Virudhu Nagar Market, said:
First quality ginger grown in the Kodaku Hills of Kerala state is brought to Virudhunagar for sale in large quantities.
All the ginger planted six months ago in the agricultural lands of Kerala state has been harvested. Currently, due to the ongoing work of ginger cultivation for the next phase in the state of Kerala, the arrival of ginger to Virudhunagar has reduced drastically.
As a result, the price has gone up by Rs 30 per kg to Rs 100, and beans from Kodaikanal and Bengaluru are selling at Rs 100, up from Rs 60 to Rs 40. said.
