transportation will increase prices of fresh items. Since additional costs will be incurred on jet fuel and customs, it will drive the overall price of exotic

and vegetables.

On the contrary

, locally harvested items are more cost effective.

For instance

, locally produced apples value around 150 rupees per KG and imported ones are worth twice as much.

Such

a high cost excludes the majority of the population from buying them.

Moreover

and vegetables. Those who can afford to buy generally prefer to choose the ones which are either out of season or exotic. Resultantly, the sale of the items drop.

This

is very helpful for those who prefer certain types of fresh items.
