🔮Short Forecast for April 21–27, 2025

• The upcoming week is expected to witness extremely hot weather conditions, with temperatures soaring up to 45°C. Such heat may affect the freshness and shelf-life of perishable commodities, potentially leading to supply constraints.​

  • Vegetables: Prices of leafy greens and other perishable vegetables may rise due to heat-induced spoilage and reduced shelf-life.​

  • Fruits: Summer fruits like watermelon and musk melon might see increased demand, possibly driving prices up.​

  • Root Vegetables: Commodities like potatoes and onions are likely to remain stable, given their longer shelf-life.​

• 👥 Impact on Stakeholders

• • Farmers: Those cultivating heat-resilient crops may benefit from stable or increased prices. However, farmers growing perishable vegetables should take measures to minimize post-harvest losses.​

  • Traders: Need to ensure proper storage and quick turnover of perishable goods to prevent spoilage and financial losses.​

  • Consumers: Should anticipate potential price hikes in certain vegetables and plan purchases accordingly. Opting for less perishable items might be cost-effective.
