Kanpur: Taking a round of the weekly vegetable market in KDA Colony locality of Jajmau area here, it is fitting to write that the lemon is quite a costly item than other various green vegetables.
If green pea is selling at the rate of Rs 25 per kg at this considerably big wider space, the lemon is three pieces in ten rupees. While it is one for Rs five just outside the market ground.
What the sellers point out at a hefty cost is that, this item is not coming in mandis amply. That's why the rate is not going down, they add with an indication of a grin.
When the shoppers assert on increasing the number of lemons in that amount, they deny the point completely. It is generally considered that the lemon sells at a cheaper rate in winter days. But this is not moving in view of the higher rate these days. Sellers remain very serious on the matter of price. Once what is spoken by them remains intact till the last.
