Incessant downpours hitting the nation have affected the supply of crops, thus creating a situation where vegetable prices may soar in the future, according to a report by Channel News Asia.

Malaysian Wholesaler Vegetable Association president Steven Lee told the news portal that continuous rainfall has reduced supply by 20 to 30 percent in crop-producing areas such as Malacca, Cameron Highlands, Pahang and markets in parts of Kuala Lumpur.
