Broccoli for just Rs. 25: Expensive Vegetable Now Affordable in Visakhapatnam

• Broccoli, a nutrient-rich vegetable, is now available at a very low price in Visakhapatnam's Rythu Bazaars, costing between Rs. 20-30.
• This price drop is due to high yields and extensive local cultivation around Visakhapatnam, making it almost as cheap as cauliflower.
• Once considered an imported luxury costing up to Rs. 200/kg, broccoli is now grown locally in North Andhra Agency areas like Araku Valley and Paderu.
• Local cultivation in cool climates and fertile soils, combined with reduced transportation costs, makes organic broccoli highly affordable.
• A small head of broccoli, previously Rs. 60, is now Rs. 25, and a large one is Rs. 40, attracting many consumers due to its quality and price.
