Drought Drives Up Grocery Prices | Jamaica News

Published 2 days, 15 hours ago
Description

Grocery prices at Coronation Market are skyrocketing—sweet peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, pumpkin, thyme, and even bananas are getting pricier, forcing shoppers to cut back and rethink their budgets. The drought gripping Jamaica is the culprit, shrinking crop yields and tightening supply, which drives up costs across the board. Regular shoppers are adjusting, buying less and seeking deals, while officials monitor the impact on communities. It’s a stark reminder of how weather and agriculture directly shape our wallets.
