It would be subject to sanctions according to the regulations.
The head of the Trade Office responded to the increase in several commodities by making intensive efforts to carry out market operations. They would also encourage cooperation between regions.
Ansar also said that the increase occurred due to a decrease in production from sugar factories.
Meanwhile, the prices of chilies and rice have increased due to decreased production due to the impacts of the long dry season caused by the El Nino phenomenon.
