COSTLY: Leafy vegetables will cost more in Singapore, as supply has been hit by floods in Malaysia
Leafy vegetables will cost more in Singapore, as supply has been hit by floods in Malaysia, reported Channel NewsAsia.
The local television channel reported wholesalers as saying that the supply of leafy vegetables from Johor Baharu has been cut by between 20 and 30 per cent.
This had pushed up the wholesale price by about 20 per cent.
Wholesalers expected the shortage to last another week or two and hoped that the weather would improve so that the supply for the Lunar New Year would not be hit.
Singapore imports about 40 per cent of its vegetables, both leafy and non-leafy, from Malaysia.
