"India’s Food Inflation Quickens to 12.21%, a Nine-Month High", says Bloomberg report .
With Mamta ready to withdraw support from UPA govt on Petrol Price hikes and Prime minister Manmohan Singh attributing high inflation in vegetables and fruits prices to growing prosperity, These are difficult times for poor and middle class families in India. I happen to buy vegetables today(5th Nov 2011 from local hypermart in Bangalore and did a quick comparison with prices offered by HOPCOMS(The Horticultural Producer's Cooperative Marketing and Processing Society Limited). Here is the comparison
It was expected for prices to be higher at Village Hypermart considering the higher profit orientation but price difference was as high as 160% for Green chilli. Except Onion, all vegetables were priced higher than HOPCOMS.
So Key Takeaways in Bangalore
- Before you buy, Compare veggie and fruit prices with HOPCOMS prices on their website or just by sending SMS HOPCOMS VEG OR HOPCOMS FRUIT to 9243355223.
- Find nearest HOPCOMS stall near your home when you plan to buy
