At present, the price of most leafy vegetables has dropped by about half compared with the previous weeks. The prices of other vegetables such as cucumber and eggplants have remained stable or decreased slightly.
Most vegetable prices have declined, with only a few varieties having higher prices. Among them, the price of the popular coriander is 26.99 yuan / kg.

In two weeks or so, they will be ready to enter the market en masse and the price of coriander will drop rapidly.
