Farmers' Union criticizes veg price rise

The Director of the Farmers' Union stated that the prices of some vegetable varieties, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, have increased by more than 100% in retail stores despite ample supplies in the market, which he considers unwarranted. He attributed the rise to excessive marketing layers within the wholesale markets, even though the quantities coming in are close to the daily demand. He called for the dissemination of explanatory bulletins to inform citizens about the prices farmers sell at, and also anticipated that local lemon supplies would significantly increase after mid-July.
