In some cities, the price is as high as Rs 350 per kg for the citrus fruit, compared to Rs 40/kg a few months ago. That means a single lemon will cost you around Rs 10-15. Lemons are actually competing with Petrol, LPG and Gold in the current price rise battle. But why is this happening in India? The country that is the largest producer of lemons in the world!
