NEW DELHI: Retail prices of leafy vegetables like spinach and other winter staples such as carrots, cauliflower and peas have shot up as much as 67 per cent in the national capital over the last five days due to unseasonal rains.
Retail prices of vegetables are expected to be under pressure for the next two days due to tight supplies as the WHOLESALEmarkets will remain closed for Holi on Friday, traders said.
However, there is no supply constraint for potato and onion, and their prices are stable, a senior Union agriculture ministry official said.
