SINGAPORE: Extreme weather in China has caused a sharp drop in fruit and vegetable harvests and their supplies to Singapore.
This has in turn resulted in wholesale prices of some vegetables such as cabbage, going up by at least 10 per cent here.
But wholesalers said Singapore will not be too adversely affected as it has a wide variety of food sources to keep supplies stable.
In fact, Singapore imports its vegetables from some 30 countries, including Malaysia. - CNA/vm
