In related news, shoppers at Coronation Market—affectionately known as ‘Curry’—are currently enjoying a continued decline in produce prices. This week, tomatoes have dropped to as low as $30 per pound, with cabbage and pumpkin selling for just $100 each.
Corey Bailey, a data collection officer from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining, confirmed the favorable market conditions. ‘Overall, prices are very encouraging,’ Bailey noted. ‘While items like sweet potato and dasheen have remained steady at around $300 to $350, many other products have seen significant price reductions. Now is an excellent time for shopping at the market.’
