Snow, rain pushes China's farm produce prices up
BEIJING, Nov.6 (Xinhua) -- Rain and snow in China's north have driven farm produce prices slightly up in 36 large and medium-sized cities, the Ministry 1 of Commerce (MOC) said Tuesday.

Prices of cucumbers, potatoes and tomatoes jumped 8 percent, 6.8 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, the price of eggs dropped 0.4 percent, down for the fourth consecutive 3 week.
