Chilli Prices Surge Due to Supply Shortages

Chilli prices have gone up a lot in places like Warangal and Khammam.

This is because farmers are growing less chilli now, and there are problems like pests and too much rain.

Also, more people from other countries want to buy chilli, so the price is higher.

Last week, the price was as high as ₹22,000 for a big amount of chilli, and now it's between ₹15,000 and ₹18,500.

Farmers and experts think the price might stay like this for a while.

In the past, farmers grew chilli on a lot more land, but now it's much less.

This year, they expect to grow less chilli than usual.
