By
Green chilli and ginger prices have surged in parts of India due to a drop in supply. In Chennai, green chillies are retailing at Rs 100 per kg, while in Kolkata, the prices have reached Rs 350 per kg. The low supply of green chillies has increased demand and prices. The decrease in supply is attributed to farmers in Andhra Pradesh switching to other crops due to low prices for chillies in the last harvest. Similarly, the average retail price of tomatoes on an all-India basis is Rs 56.58 per kg.
