Bengaluru has been witnessing an unusual rise in tender coconut prices that has been concerning for both vendors and consumers.

While it is common for prices to increase during summer, this year's hike has caught many off guard, as the rates continue to climb even during the monsoon season. Currently, tender coconuts are being sold at Rs 60-70 per piece, a significant rise compared to previous years, leaving many customers unhappy with the strain on their budgets.
