✦AI Summary
Flower prices in Kerala have surged ahead of the Onam festival due to supply chain bottlenecks and poor yields in neighboring states. Local initiatives are attempting to mitigate these costs by increasing domestic production to meet high festive demand.
The festive season has triggered a sharp surge in flower prices across local markets, driven by supply chain bottlenecks, an early holiday calendar, and reduced yields in neighbouring States. Merchants note that because Onam arrived earlier and following a two-month lull, traders were left with little time to normalise inter-State arrivals.
