Even if true, nobody will take notice the human psychology always take notice of upward trends and ignores downwards. IMO these negligible trends are due to supply and demand issues arises from the harvesting time affected by nature, mismanagement and ignorance by consumers to store/preserve the items while available in abundance at cheap prices. For example tomatoes/green chillies could be preserved in powdered form or by freezing them. It is not a rocket science. There is abundance of free sunshine in Pakistan and people have ample free time.

Well said.
We always try to discuss the things that are beyond our control but pay no attention to the things we could change ourselves. This is Pakistani psychology.
