“Vegetable prices in India spiked 46.59% in July year over year, another ugly bullet point in the country’s persistent struggle with massive food inflation. In particular, the onion — a staple vegetable whose rising prices have dogged ruling parties in the past — saw a particularly dramatic jump. India has already lost hundreds of billions of dollars due to inflation in the past few years. Of course, the country’s poor population, which spends the lion’s share of income on food, has been hit hardest. India’s central bank has cut interest rates three times this year, but lowering it further could further crush the rupee and drive inflation higher, the Journal reported.”
