A drop in supply of Luffa, used mostly for their seeds, has caused prices to swell at the local market.

While prices of Luffa were around MVR 30 for a kilogram before Ramadan, the price for a kilogram has increased to MVR 40.

Prices of other goods, such as lettuce and other green leaves, as well as watermelons have increased.

The price of fish have also increased.
