Energy crisis is increasing in many countries of the world. On the other hand, the trend of increasing crude oil prices in the international market continues. Government oil companies have once again increased the prices of petrol and diesel. On Wednesday, the price of petrol at the Indian Oil Pump in Delhi market was Rs 102.94 per liter and the price of diesel was Rs 91.72 per liter.

While diesel has risen by Rs 2.80 in 11 days. Tomato prices are also seeing a rise before the festive season. A few weeks ago the price of tomatoes fell so much that farmers started throwing their tomatoes on the road. Now suddenly the tomato has started showing its color again. The price of tomato in Delhi has reached Rs 60 per kg. Along with tomatoes, the prices of green vegetables have also started touching the sky. Rising prices of petrol and diesel have also made transportation more expensive, making pulses, sugar and other goods more expensive than before. Some international conditions are also being attributed to the rise in sugar prices. Drought and corona virus have had a big impact on the sugar producing countries of the world. According to the report, it is preparing to produce ethanol from about two million tonnes of sugar this year. For this sugar has not been sent to the market and will be sent to the distillery so that ethanol can be prepared. The price of ethanol is rising because of the sugar used to make it. The price of raw sugar in the international market is around Rs 2,800 per quintal while the ex-mill price of sugar in Maharashtra is Rs 3,400 per quintal.
