Recent reports from China indicate a significant increase in the prices of vegetables, with some vegetables nearly doubling in cost and reaching prices higher than pork. This price hike is due to heavy rainfall that has caused flooding in vegetable fields, limiting supply, and transportation issues. The transportation costs from the south to the north have also contributed to the rise in prices. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has noted a notable increase in the Agricultural Product Wholesale Price Index and the Vegetable Basket product wholesale price index.

The situation has led to heated discussions among netizens and farmers about the high cost of living and the challenges faced by those selling vegetables.
