Monitoring the prices of daily commodities such as the vegetables are short-term solutions. What is needed is improving transportation and having better state-of-the-art storage facilities and buffering. As the vegetables that are affected are those that are easy to grow, another novel solution is to encourage the concept of kitchen gardens in the households. Let us not forget what rainwater harvesting did. Kitchen gardens will also ensure pesticide-free, fresh vegetables at affordable prices. In times of crisis, innovation is the key.
