Fish and veggie prices go up due to scarce supply


Pricy greens: The reason some vegetables such as ‘sawi’, ‘bayam hijau’ and cucumber had shown the greatest price increases in Peninsular Malaysia was due to weather conditions in agricultural areas.

JOHOR BARU: Consumers will have to fork out extra money for vegetables and fish, as prices of these items have increased due to the monsoon season.

Checks by The Star showed that fresh red chilies are now priced at RM16 per kg, compared to RM10 about a week ago.
