Peanut Vendor At A Beach-LPG 5-klogram Portable Cylinder Price Hike- Kochi
R. Gopalakrishnan, 75, sells peanuts and chips from his cart at Fort Kochi beach in Kochi, India, on March 11, 2026. Gopalakrishnan uses a 5-kilogram portable liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder to fry peanuts and needs one cylinder every seven days to run his small business. He says he is worried about rising prices and a possible shortage of LPG cylinders, adding that he may be forced to close his cart if supplies become unavailable, as health issues prevent him from using kerosene or diesel as alternatives.
