PETALING JAYA: Chinese New Year is 40 days away and vegetables farmers are keeping their fingers crossed that the current rainy weather, which had resulted in a 30% spike in prices, will clear by this week.

Federation of Malaysian Vegetable Growers secretary-general Chay Ee Mong said they were hoping it would be sunnier by the end of this week to ensure no disruption to vegetable supply for the New Year celebration on Feb 10.
