This graph shows the breakdown of food inflation over time. Notice that rice's contribution has been slowly inching up over the past yr. But it more than doubled in August 2023. Still, vegetables contributed the most to food inflation. The contribution of fish is also up, btw.
@jcpunongbayan As a hands-on consumer in the last 10 years, I observe na iyong isda ang may pinakamataas na pagtaas ng presyo among food items. Iyong isda na 250 ang presyo pre-pandemic ay naglalaro na sa 350-400 ngayon. Highest increase was during pandemic, continued after, never na bumaba.
@jcpunongbayan Never understood why fish is so expensive in a nation that’s an archipelago of thousand of islands and coastlines 🥲
@jcpunongbayan Rice. Meat. Fish. Vegetables. Nice graph.
@jcpunongbayan Ramdam na ramdam din yung sa fish and veggies :/
