There has been a price increase in fruits and vegetables from Malaysia, where floods have sent some farms under water.

Major fruit importer and distributor Thong Hai said floods in Pahang, Johor and Terengganu affected its supplies.

As a result, the price of a watermelon, for instance, is now $1.50 per kg, up by 60 cents from a few days ago.

Sheng Siong supermarket chain has also seen price hikes. It said its vegetable supply from Malaysia has decreased. It did not have figures for how much of its vegetables come from Malaysia.
