ಇರಾನ್-ಇಸ್ರೇಲ್-ಅಮೆರಿಕ ಯುದ್ಧದ ಎಫೆಕ್ಟ್; ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಡ್ರೈ ಫ್ರೂಟ್ಸ್ ಬೆಲೆ ಗಗನಕ್ಕೆ

According to a report by Public TV, consumers in Bengaluru are facing a significant increase in the cost of dry fruits, with market prices reportedly rising by 30 to 40 percent. Traders attribute this surge to ongoing supply chain disruptions originating from the Middle East, particularly affecting imports from Iran and surrounding nations.

Local merchants indicate that the flow of goods has been severely hampered for the past three months, leading to a noticeable shortage in the local market. The report suggests that the lingering effects of regional geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have prevented maritime and trade routes from returning to normal operations, directly impacting the availability and pricing of imported commodities in Karnataka.

While the market is currently grappling with these supply constraints, traders are monitoring the situation for signs of stabilization. The price hike has become a point of concern for local retailers and consumers alike, as the cost of essential dry fruits remains elevated compared to previous quarters.
