Now it’s really time to eat up your greens as it is getting costlier to waste them.
Vegetable seller Tan Kai Hiong, 41, said that prices of greens especially spring onions, coriander and even chillies had risen by more than 20% since last Wednesday’s floods in Cameron Highlands.
“Spring onions used to cost RM10 per kg but now they are selling for between RM13 and RM15 per kg. Chilli prices have also increased from RM13 per kg to RM15,” he said, adding that the rainy weather could be another contributing factor.
He said the price of other vegetables like cabbage, long cabbage, capsicum, tomatoes and even Japanese cucumber had risen as well.
