Consumers Warned of Rising Mango Prices Amid Climate Change

Recent reports have shown that mango production in South Asia has been lower this year, mainly due to the impact of climate change. Despite this, wholesalers and retailers have assured consumers that there is an adequate supply of mangoes available in the market.

However, customers may notice a slight increase in mango prices compared to previous years. This rise in prices can be attributed to inflation in Pakistan and the surge in freight charges. The cost of transporting mangoes has increased from Rs280 to Rs320, contributing to the overall increase in prices.

It is important for consumers to be aware of these factors when purchasing mangoes this season. While the supply may be stable, the prices have been affected by various economic and environmental factors.

As mango prices continue to fluctuate due to climate change and economic conditions, consumers should stay informed about the factors influencing the market. By understanding the reasons behind price increases, individuals can make informed decisions when buying mangoes and support sustainable practices in the agricultural industry.
