Report: Vegetable prices up between 30 and 40 per cent following EMCO in Cameron Highlands

KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 — Prices of vegetables from Cameron Highlands rose up to 40 per cent since yesterday, after the enhanced movement control order was enforced in several areas there,Other types of vegetables expected to see price increases include tomatoes, Japanese cucumbers, chillies, cabbages, beans, sweet peppers and all types of salad leaves.

“Today we should be able to see the effects of the price increase in the market. It is expected that this afternoon , the vegetables will reach the wholesale market. Because after this consignment is sold, only then the farmers are paid. Only then we will know whether there is a price hike or not, but surely the prices will hike as vegetable supply is lower,” Chan was reported saying.

As a result, the report said that an estimated 65 per cent of vegetable farm operators in Cameron Highlands were affected. According to him, agricultural inputs such as fertilisers, seeds, pesticides, vegetable packaging and other farming essentials have also experienced price hikes.
