The price surge in vegetables is straining household budgets in Bengaluru, as essential items like tomatoes and leafy greens become less affordable. Farmers are facing financial losses due to crop damage and reduced yields, with some forced to discard unsellable produce. Flower growers are also struggling, as low demand has led to a significant drop in prices, making it difficult for them to cover harvesting and transportation costs. The economic impact is being felt across both urban consumers and rural producers.
