Topic: Food prices across the globe [General comparison] - page 3. (Read 476 times)

This few food items you just listed has reminded me how the inflation has eating up the means of survival to some persons on my region, imagine how bad it is that only this item you mentioned cannot be bought with four months salary of most persons in the country, though it was more cheaper before now but is quite unfortunate that people are taking advantage of the high demand into increasing there prices, I believe this is not how some of the countries do during this Xmas period instead of helping they are trying to get more from buyers, however after this period the price will certainly drop to the price it was before, though it seems the rice is a bit low because from were I reside 50kg is 106k in price.

Prices in Washington DC

Rice in the $1-$1.25 pound range
Onion $2 per pound
Chicken $4-$-4.50 per pound

In the philppines the was also high although we have not expereince a hyper inflation yet, but I think the main reason for these prices were because it's  controlled by the syndicates.

For rice 50 kg its worth $55
pork meat 1 kl = $12
dressed chicken 1k = $4.8

these are the items I am only familiar off as I usually by these.

If we can add beer, well for 6 liters of beer (red horse) its $12.15.

I live in Indonesia, here are the price:

Rice 50kg = $46,55
Onions 1kg = $3
Chicken 1kg =$1,8
Cooking oils 4kg = $10
Full life goat = $217
One crate of malt = $9,93

Not surprising for me to see the price is similar with your country because we're live in third world countries. Inflation do hit in my country too, but the increment isn't that high, people can still afford to buy daily needs.

We have inflation in Iran so prices do go up but occasional price hike here depends on the goods. Certain food items that they call "basic" (like rice, cooking oil, meat, etc.) have government monitoring them and they prevent the price from going up by giving the producers certain concessions (eg. cutting taxes). But other goods will go up and down during certain times.

For example we don't celebrate Christmas here since our New Year is on the first day of spring called Noruz but we are now close to Chelleh Night (last day of Autumn) that is celebrated in 4 days from now. So goods like certain fruits, nuts and sometimes confectionery go up. For instance today I saw that price of Persimmon has nearly doubled and is reaching $2/kilo!

It is also hard to post price of other goods you listed because some of them have a very wide range of prices depending on the brand/quality. Like rice. Here there are Rice coming from India and Pakistan that are usually a lot cheaper (lower quality) that start from around $0.5 / kilo if I'm not mistaken and it goes all the way up to top quality locally produced rice in north of Iran that costs $3.7 / kilo. What I buy is in the middle roughly about $1 per kilo.

Tomato price skyrocketed recently out of nowhere and they reached $1.4 per kilo (it is usually $0.35 /kilo).
Tomato paste went up a little $0.88 a can
Onions are $0.4 per kilo.
Chicken is about $1.3 per kilo.
Red meat is about $10 a kilo.
Cooking oil vary a lot. I have to look up stuff like sesame, olive, etc. oil. The usual stuff we buy (I think it is sunflower and Canola oil) is about $0.70 per container that is 810 grams.

Overall price in usd ($1=1652 Naira) currently on bybit p2p
Rice 69,000 ~$42(50kg), Gino Tomatoes 10,000 ~$6.1, Onions one custard rubber 15,000 ~$9.1, Chicken 30,000 ~$18.2, Groundnut oil 4 littrs (25,000 ~$15.3)/Red oil (Palm oil) 15,000 ~$9.1, Crayfish one custard rubber 10,000 ~$6.1, Full life Goat 120,000 ~$73, One crate of malt 15,000 ~$9.1

To make it easier for everyone to understand since this isn’t a local board, I suggest you include the dollar equivalent for the price, as USD is the standard currency worldwide.

Definitely, as demand increases, prices rise. However, if your country has a government agency that monitors prices, businesses won’t be able to take advantage of the holiday season. The price will remain fair although increase is inevitable.

This topic is carried out after the sudden change of food items and I want to put this together to see those who their country is less cheaper. Like I know compared to the economic crisis within our country, food Items has hike in price which even making the low/average people not to afford at least 2 square meal per/day. I went in purchase of Rice and Other food stuff and what I saw in the market isn't that pleasing neither seems amused me at all, in fact, we are totally finished due to inflation rate and almost everything changes price every single days. Do you wait till 23 DEC evening before buying all these things? Below are the prices currently, although price might differs due to location and states within my country.

Rice 69,000 (50kg), Gino Tomatoes 10,000, Onions one custard rubber 15,000, Chicken 30,000, Groundnut oil 4 littrs (25,000)/Red oil (Palm oil) 15,000, Crayfish one custard rubber 10,000, Full life Goat 120,000, One crate of malt 15,000, ect most images aren't included.

You could list some of the price maybe to know the area that are way cheaper, especially those in Nigeria if they are more affordable at your locations, while those abroad can as well list to compare the rate of things between the both countries.
