President of the Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS), Lenworth Fulton says it could be several more weeks before Jamaicans get a much needed reprieve from high prices for agricultural produce.

This, as farmers are still recovering from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Beryl.

The hurricane decimated farms and greenhouses in several parishes, leaving the country without its usual abundant stock of vegetables and other farm produce.

The limited supply resulted in a hike in the prices of vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce and tomatoes.

Last weekend, consumers reported paying as much as a $1000 per pound for tomatoes. 

In recent days, some persons have taken to social media to express shock at the cost of produce in their local markets.

Responding to queries from IRIE FM News, Mr. Fulton said citizens may be compelled to continue paying the high prices, possibly until year end.

Mr. Fulton noted that despite challenges, farmers are restoring their livelihood gradually.
