The wonderful carrot went to an all time high of Rs 2,000 per kilogram. That is approximately USD 6.40 per kilogram.
Now the per capita gdp in the USA is USD 70,200
The per capital GDP in Sri Lanka is reportedly USD 3,500
Now I don’t know intellectual spin from the master of spin at wherever they trot out this sort of thing
BUT
I do know there is something wrong when the most powerful nation on earth has a per capita GDP of $70,000 and sells carrots at around US$ 3.00 per kilogram
And tiny likkle Sri Lan with its per capital GDP around USD 3,500 sells carrots at US$ 6.55 per kilogram
and not a lot of people knew that.
