The average price of large -scale supermarkets in Hong Kong has risen, and grain storage foods have risen particularly large. The consumer committee believes that it is caused by a crown disease epidemic.
According to Hong Kong 01 reports, the Consumer Council announced last year's supermarket price survey and found that the total average selling price of 260 goods in the three large supermarkets increased by 2.1%.Based on the category of goods, the average price of grain and oil and food has risen the largest, reaching 5.4%. As for canned food that is commonly used as grain storage, the average price is more than 30%higher than the epidemic.
Huang Fengxian, Director of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, said on Tuesday (April 18) in the millennium of Hong Kong and Taiwan programs that the epidemic has increased the cost of goods logistics, raw materials and workers.Essence
In addition, the main producer of mustard seed oil is Ukraine, affected by the Russian and Ukraine War. It was not exported last year. Olive oil was affected by insect pests last year, resulting in rising prices.
Huang Fengxian said that the survey showed that the food category increased more. I hope that after the society is completely restored, the cost of logistics and labor is stabilized, and the price can fall.
I was asked about the impact of the change of consumer coupons on the price change of supermarkets. Huang Fengxian said that according to the past sever experience, the two did not have to have a relationship.
