The price of sorrel remains cheaper than last year in the lead-up to Christmas, but vendors expect it to rise to $20 per pound as a national shortage continues to develop.
At the San Fernando Central Market, vendor Curtis George of Grand Lagoon, Mayaro, said sorrel is currently selling at three pounds for $25, a noticeably lower rate than the $20 per pound that dominated two Christmas seasons ago. However, he said the low prices may not last.
