KINGSTON, Jamaica – It’s a mixed bag for food prices this weekend as the costs of some items are up while others are down at the Coronation Market in Kingston.

Onion, at $300 a pound; lettuce ($400) and tomato ($100) are among the food items fetching lower prices compared to last week. However, yellow yam ($500), sweet pepper ($400) and hot pepper ($400) will all cost you more this weekend.

This week, host Carlysia Ramdeen welcomed special guest, popular reggae singer Yaksta, who is also a farmer.
