With not a single food truck arriving at Vashi's APMC market last night owing to the farmers' protest, there was no fresh produce at the wholesale market today. Even though the farmers had called for a daylong strike on June 1, their protest is expected to continue indefinitely. While traders and wholesalers at APMC said they had stocks to last at least two more days, they have urged citizens to not go into panic mode and start stocking more than they need. This, they said, could send prices skyrocketing.
