Vegetable Price In Chennai On July 19: What's Cheaper, What's Costly Today?

The prices of green chili and garlic at the Koyambedu Wholesale Market in Chennai have drastically fallen on Friday. Just a week ago, green chilies were priced at Rs 40 per kg until July 14.

However, the price skyrocketed to Rs 90 per kg the next day. While it remained stable for the past four days, today, the price has plummeted back to Rs 40 per kg, a significant Rs 50 decrease.

Garlic prices have also been fluctuating. On May 20, a kg of garlic was sold at Rs 360. Since then, the prices have varied between Rs 300 and Rs 360. Today, however, garlic is being sold at Rs 280 per kg, marking a steep decrease in its price.

Other vegetables have seen price changes as well. A kg of drumsticks, which sold for Rs 90 yesterday, is now available for Rs 80. Similarly, Ooty carrots were priced at Rs 80 per kg yesterday but are now being sold for Rs 70 per kg.

In contrast, the price of lemons has increased slightly. Yesterday, a kg of lemons was sold at Rs 100, while today, the price has risen to Rs 110.
