JOHOR BARU: Consumers can expect more expensive fruits and vegetables in the coming weeks because of the floods in Johor, which have left many farms submerged.

The Federation of Vegetable Farmers Association secretary-general Chay Ee Mong said unstable prices could prolong until May as farmers needed time to rebuild their farms after floods recede.
