With the sales of chicken and mutton going down due to the coronavirus scare, it is the humble 'kathal' (jackfruit) that is emerging as an acceptable alternative. 'Kathal' is now selling at Rs 120 per kilogram -- an increase of more than 120 per cent over the normal Rs 50 per kilogram. The jackfruit, in fact, is now higher priced than chicken which is selling at Rs 80 per kilogram due to poor demand.
