Chilli Acreage Decline Anticipated Due to Weak Prices

Farmers are growing fewer chili peppers this year because the price they can sell them for is low.

There are lots of chilies left over from last year, which is making prices go down.

Because of this, farmers are planting other crops like maize, cotton, and green gram instead.

The amount of seeds being sold has also gone down.

There are also more chilies stored than last year.

The price of some types of chilies has gone down more than others.
