JOHOR BARU: Customers have to fork out extra to buy ladies’ fingers and long beans as the supplies of these two vegetables have dwindled due to the current hot spell.

Vegetable seller Ah Moi, 49, said the prices of long beans and ladies’ fingers have increased from RM6.50 per kg to RM8 and RM9 per kg respectively since last month.
