Rice prices have been rising sharply over the past few days. Although there is no shortage of rice in the country, our research has revealed that the price of rice is rising rapidly.
Accordingly, the market price of rice will be 140, 150 on 05 01 2021, 150, 160 on 06 01 2021 , 155, 165 on 07 01 2021 and 165, 175 on 07 01 2021. Mentioned.
As of this morning, we were able to see the same prices as yesterday (08). However, prices vary from region to region, from institution to institution, and quality of the rice.
In addition, there were restrictions on the issuance of rice in some of the shops we visited. It was also observed that only 5 kg of rice is issued per person in one shop. When the shop owner was asked about it, he stated that he was selling rice as he had a limited quantity.
However, if this situation continues, the price of a kilo of rice could cross the Rs. 250 mark by the coming Sinhala and Tamil New Year. Therefore, the people have faith in certain statements as the government will focus on taking special measures to save the country and the people from this situation.
