Vashi APMC Vegetable Prices Crash Unexpectedly
Summer season sees unusual price drops amid weak demand
Vegetable wholesale prices at Vashi APMC crashed unexpectedly as of April 24, 2026, breaking typical summer pricing patterns. Cucumber is selling at ₹12-16 per kg while cluster beans (gavar) are priced at ₹18-22 per kg.
The price drop defies seasonal norms when rates typically surge during summer months. Market sources blame weak demand and oversupply for the downturn.
Reduced buying from the hospitality sector and civic action against hawkers have further dampened demand, creating an unusual buyer's market during peak summer.
