Vegetable prices have skyrocketed due to flooding and recent storms, and major city markets are experiencing shortages.
Tomatoes have entirely vanished from low-cost markets in Islamabad, and the cost of other vegetables, like as potatoes and onions, has also skyrocketed.
In contrast to the official government tariff of Rs123 per kg, shopkeepers claim that tomatoes are being sold in wholesale marketplaces for Rs300 per kg.
The capital is not the only thing affected. Heavy rains and flooding in Jhelum have caused significant damage to crops and agricultural grounds, which has caused prices to spike. Only a week ago, tomatoes were Rs50 per kg; today, they cost Rs220 per kilogram.
