O. Panneerselvam, co-ordinator of the AIADMK and Deputy leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, has urged the government to intervene to stop the spike in vegetable prices. According to his statement, "due to recent heavy rains, vegetable availability has been dropping and vegetable prices, particularly tomatoes, have continued to rise."

As a result, the tamil Nadu government is taking steps to curb the increase in vegetable costs caused by the monsoon and to ensure that quality vegetables and tomatoes are available to the public at reasonable prices. The government has made steps to sell vegetables and tomatoes at fair pricing shops as well as through mobile farm green consumer outlets, according to a news release published by the minister of Cooperatives on november 24, 2021.

A Co-operative sector official was quoted in the media less than 10 days after the announcement, saying that the tamil Nadu government's measures have resulted in lower prices of vegetables, including tomatoes, in the open market, which will not be sold in ration shops for the time being, while vegetables will continue to be sold at lower prices in farm greenhouses.

That is, in actuality, veggies are never sold at reasonable prices in fair-priced stores. This is because the last time onions were sold at affordable prices through fair price shops, the authorities charged the employees for the unsold onions, so the employees were told on behalf of the staff that they would cooperate to sell the vegetables if they were assured that they would not be charged any money for the unsold vegetables.


People are crying because the prices of vegetables, fruits, and flowers are rising so quickly. Vegetables cost more than groceries, therefore people have to spend more on them. Vegetable prices haven't grown this much even when the corona is at its peak. Since becoming Prime minister, opposition leader Stalin, who insisted on reducing the price of vegetables at the time, has startled the public by refusing to mention the ever-increasing price of vegetables.
