veggie prices inching back up

Yup, was shopping yesterday and even vendors were complaining about it, I was lucky to get good prices on baigan, pimento, and bandania at Penal market and 7lb of tomatoes for $23 from a roadside vendor in Debe who said he grows his own produce, had about 5 different types of pepper too nice heaps for $10. In Debe junction, tomatoes were $8 a lb. Heard onion is king now

even cassava sucking salt
this not looking good for the upcoming rainy season

it could also be that farmers are waiting on crops to bear again
as most crops are 3month grow cycle and would have been planted december post floods and that crop is over, hence mostly seeing tiny tomatoes by them vendors

Its the lack of rainfall.
Was in a meeting two weeks ago at Min of Ag and the dryness was highlighted as an issue current plaguing farmers and crops.

Not sure how the Moruga Locusts affecting things but it seems this year is one of the worse ever for it.

I prefer the skinny cucumbers. They have less seeds and the interior is crunchy compared with the fatbois

Hey man it's 2023 people should be allowed to like whatever crops they want and make little kids like those said crops too

And make disney movies/shows pushing those crops.

Most of those crunchy, with the underdeveloped seed (dunno if is young or a type). The spongy ones I make relish with.

I understand where Wasa coming from doh, they don't want people disrupting the natural water ways an ting. But farmers honestly use a miniscule amount in the grand scheme of things. And on top of that, the water just gonna get polluted and be unuseable downstream anyhow, let d people grow we food while the water still good upstream.

Is not like they tapping a water line too, is F**kin untreated water. Wasa own d water in my cesspit too?

And we kinda need food to survive inno. Would be a great idea to like, not stress out the people who growing your food.
Even if they disrupt the waterways, we won't have to exhaust the economy to import food inno?

And we can grow as a country if we have more food to export inno?

more water is wasted in leaks and will be for the next 100years than what is used by farmers
likewise lots more water is wasted in many other industries, eg them car wash places that popping up on every corner
