At the prevailing market prices, even Rs 200 is no longer enough to get you vegetables and fruits for a day. As on Tuesday, capsicum was priced between Rs 44 and Rs 50 per kg, depending upon its quality, in various super markets in the city and mangoes of the Himayat variety were sold for as much as Rs 150 per kg.

Moreover, expect to pay an additional Rs 2-Rs 3 for a small or a medium sized carry bag.

Despite tall claims by the government of having taken measures (like reducing the repo rate) to bring down inflation, prices of vegetables and fruits are shooting up.

“People must carry at least Rs 1,000 if they want to buy vegetables and fruits for a four-member family and if they want the stocks to last for four days to a week. Apple (Fuji) is priced around Rs 150 for a kg and Royal Gala apples sell for Rs 200 - Rs 250 per kg. Green granny smith is sold at Rs 310 per kg. Even pomegranate costs Rs 169 per kg.

Of course the Benishan mango is available for between Rs 60 and Rs 80 per kg in super markets,” said Jaya, a resident of Shyamlal Buildings.

Traders and experts say the prices are only going to get higher in May, June and July. The marriage season that begins in May will further escalate the prices.


While traders and wholesalers blamed lack of supplies from from surrounding districts like Ranga Reddy, Medak, Nalgonda and Mahbubnagar, officials attributed the price rise to a plethora of factors such as rising temperature, water scarcity, power cuts and drying up of borewells.

Ramesh, assistant director, horticulture department, said the crop area of vegetables has come down drastically this year due to nonavailability of water and power.

“On an average, 15,000 to 20,000 hectares is cultivated for vegetables. But this year, vegetable crop cultivation has been taken up in less than 10,000 hectares in Ranga Reddy. It is same in other districts as well.” K. Rami Reddy a farmer from Sanga Reddy in Medak, who sells his produce at the wholesale market at Shamirpet from where the supermarkets lift the stocks,

said: “We need to pump borewell water for at least 8 hours for vegetable crop. There is no power supply in villages.
The government says it is supplying 7-hours, but we are getting electricity supply for less than 6 hours,” he said.

The depleting ground water table is another main reason for less production of vegetables this time due to insufficient rains during monsoon2012.

Lots of employment generation by Indian Organized Retail Sector in the near future.

India is going through a radical 
economic change. Though it is very infant stage, people can feel the climate is changing. The unorganized retailers takes the lion's share in the Indian retail sector, but the organized retailers are growing at a good pace, and promises an increase of proportion of 9 - 10% by 2010. This is to be the largest sector after the agricultural sector.

The increase in the number of consumers twinned with the introduction of organized sector has brought numerous corporate investments in retail sector. The entry of super 
markets, enormous departmental stores, and shopping malls have encouraged the retailers to look at new business plans of expansion.

An 
economic growth on a monumental scale is offered by the Indian retail sector, equally in the national and international market which in turn will generate a huge source of employment and a variety of options for the consumers. The Ernst & Young's report 'The Great Indian Retail Story', anticipates that the Indian retail sector would come up with 2 million employment opportunities within the year 2010.

Benefits to the economic growth:-
  • Better quality products and services would lead to better competition

  • More exports bring more foreign direct investments

  • Organized Indian retail sector would encourage tourism

  • Along with the employment boom there would be a vast development in the expertise of the human resource

  • There would remain future scope for improvements in agriculture, small, and medium scaled with the help of the Indian retail sector
The present employment in the retail business is nearly 4 crores and around 20 crores depends on this sector. There is a scope of better exposure to the international standards with the entry of transnational companies, which in turn is encouraging more & more retail management programs to open up and help bridging the gap of supply & demand of talented professionals for management.
