IndianChick, you are out of touch. The prices of vegetables continue rising: QUOTE   Except for eddoes and pumpkin, the price of vegetables increased further over the weekend with tomatoes moving from $10 to $12 a pound, sweet-peppers from $6 to $8, cabbage $5 to $8 and patchoi from $4 to $5 a pound. Locally grown eddoes entered the market and sold this week at $5 from $8 and pumpkin retailed at $2 from $3. Farmers reported that there was an abundance of dasheen bush. However, increasing labour costs and other difficulties in harvesting the leaves kept the price at $4 (open leaves) and $6 (rolled leaves) which decreased from $5 and $7. Hot peppers were four for $2, lettuce $6 and $7 while crops of chataigne and breadfruit sold at $10. The harvest of avocados came to an end with the last of this year crops sold at $10 each from three for $20 a fortnight ago. Farmers have begun cultivation of crops for a Christmas harvest. Tobago farmer, Melvin Dubrie who had been supplying hundreds of pounds of tomatoes to the local markets said that he had been selling out his harvest in Tobago at $8 a pound at wholesale rates. He said that he has been harvesting from one-and-a-half acre of tomatoes, one acre sweet peppers, half-an-acre each of melongene and hot peppers over the past two weeks. "I still have the last pickings to reach the market," he said. He said that he had just cultivated tomatoes, cabbage, celery, parsley, sweet peppers, water melon, pumpkin and lettuce for Christmas. Dubrie set up a greenhouse at a cost of $97,000. He said that he had not been growing crops in the greenhouse as the weather favoured his fields and crops were produced at less costs. Cunupia Farmers Association President, Anil Ramnarine said that the floods had washed away the majority of crops and there was less on the market resulting in increased prices. He said that farmers were unwilling to take the risk of investing in low lying areas and unless the clearing of waterways is addressed, vegetable produce will remain low in supply during the rainy season....
