Sri Lanka, Nov. 2 -- Local vegetable prices continue to remain high, mainly due to inclement weather.

At the Keppetipola Economic Centre, a major wholesale distribution hub for up-country vegetables, the wholesale price of a kilogramme of green chillies has increased to Rs. 700.

Meanwhile, the wholesale price of a kilogramme of beans stands at Rs. 650, while cabbage prices have risen to Rs. 450 per kilogramme.

Traders attributed the price increases to crop damage caused by rainfall, which has affected vegetable supplies.
