India
Thursday 10 May 2007
Vegetables originating from Kerala state in India have become more expensive from this week on in Persian Gulf countries according price changes due to decline in dollar exchange value against the rupee. The agricultural products and processed food exporters in the state decided to increase the retail price for one kilo of vegetables from 1,83 US$ to 1,96 US$.
The vegetables include chilly, brinjal, bananas, snake gourds, mangoes, beetroot, yam and tapioca that are outside of Kerala. Kerala, which supplies about 85.000 kg of vegetables to the Gulf countries everyday, had augmented the price after exporters started a three-day strike last month. Export of vegetables was resumed after importers agreed on the increase.
