NDTV
Lemons are currently being sold at Rs 200 per kg in Gujarat's Rajkot, as compared to the previous rates of Rs 50-60 per kg.
The prices of lemons have surged in Gujarat's Rajkot due to a shortage in supplies and a rise in the demand for the citrus fruit.
Lemons are currently being sold at Rs 200 per kg, as compared to the previous rates of Rs 50-60 per kg.
"The price of lemon is touching Rs 200/kg. It was around Rs 50-60/kg earlier. We have to fit everything into a budget. But this increase in price is affecting our 'kitchen budget'. We don't know when will the prices go down," a customer told news agency ANI.
As the temperature rises, people prefer to include lemon in their diet as they are a rich source of Vitamin C and help in staying hydrated while promoting digestion. The increased consumption and shortage of supply have skyrocketed the prices of lemons.
