Here vegetables are not cheaper than cashews and almonds, the whole game is the opposite! People were surprised to see Australia’s video

New Delhi. In India, items like cashews, almonds (Cashew, Almond in India) and raisins are often considered expensive, while green vegetables (Hari Sabjian) are a part of the common people’s plate. But there is one country in the world where sometimes the situation seems completely opposite. Here the prices of some green vegetables are so high that people think twice before buying them, while some dry fruits become relatively cheap.

A video going viral on social media has drawn people’s attention to this difference. In the video, an Indian woman is seen comparing the prices of vegetables and dry fruits in an Australian supermarket. The woman claims that many green vegetables are sold there at prices that are shocking for Indians.

How expensive are the prices of vegetables?

In the video, the woman shows the prices of green chillies, capsicum and other vegetables and says that the price of 250 grams of green chillies in Australia can range from 6 to 8 Australian dollars. In Indian currency this price is approximately equal to Rs 330 to 440.

The woman expresses surprise and says that dry fruits which are considered expensive in India, are sometimes available in Australia at a lower price than some everyday fresh vegetables. However, prices may vary depending on city, season and store.

Why are vegetables so expensive in Australia?

According to experts, there are many reasons behind this. Large parts of Australia lie in dry and poorly cultivated areas, limiting the production of many vegetables. Apart from this, labor costs are also very high there, which impacts farming, packing and transportation.

Weather also plays a big role. Floods, droughts or other natural conditions affect crop production, causing prices to increase as supply decreases. Some vegetables are also imported, which increases the price further due to the addition of transportation and storage costs.

Funny reactions on social media

After the video went viral, people gave interesting reactions. Some users jokingly wrote, “Now I understand why people in foreign countries eat more almonds.” At the same time, some people said that the things which are part of everyday life in India sometimes seem expensive in foreign countries.

Some Indians living in Australia also shared their experiences and said that many people there use frozen vegetables to save expenses, because fresh vegetables do not always fit in the budget.

Life abroad is not as easy as it seems

It is often believed that the life of people living abroad is more comfortable, but there the expenses along with the earnings are also very high. Especially the prices of green chillies, coriander and other fresh vegetables used in Indian food can surprise newcomers. This is the reason why this video viral on social media has become a topic of discussion among the people.
