The unseasonal rain that arrived late on Thursday evening across Maharashtra is affecting a number of farmers. They have indicated that this rain will affect the vegetables, fruit supply, and quality of the goods. It will also cause fluctuation in prices.

Speaking with mid-day, Sopan Kanchan, president of the Grape Grover’s Association, said, “The unseasonal rain will first affect the planting. The crops will wash out and due to this, the sweetness of the grapes decreases. When the crop is sweet and sour, the merchants buy it at a lesser price. Due to this, farmers will incur huge loss and also buyers will not get good quality grapes in the market. The sweet grapes will be priced much higher.”
