Red beans rose 5 lempiras to 110–116 lempiras per measure at Tegucigalpa's Feria del Estadio market this week, and producers warn of further increases in about three weeks as the new harvest comes in; onions, beets, corn, pataste (chayote squash), and cauliflower also rose amid low supply from prolonged dry weather.
