Vegetable Prices in Thailand Continue to Rise After Floods

The price of local vegetables in Thailand increased by 20% after floods in many provinces. Vegetables are rarely planted in the rainy season, decreasing supply and causing the price of vegetables to continue to rise. Cilantro is difficult to grow in the rainy season, which is in short supply, and the price has been adjusted from USD 2.42/kg to USD 3.94/kg. Celery has also increased in price from USD 2.42/kg to USD 5.45/kg.
