Pandalam: Record price for ripening paddy. Each one retails for over ten rupees. Traders say that such a price has never happened before. The price of payment, which was received for two and three rupees, has gone past ten rupees. More and less quality for a great price.

Wholesalers attribute the tripling of prices to climate change. After the end of the season in Kerala, it reaches Kerala from places like Rajapalayam in Tamil Nadu and Mangaluru in Karnataka. Ripe paddy was also available from Marayur in Idukki district. Heavy rains are the reason for the increase in prices. What was less than Rs 100 per quintal has now come to Rs 200. 20 and 25 per kg. Due to the increase in prices, there is now a lot of bad and unripe paddy in the bundle.
