The cost of cooking oil and ghee has increased in Pakistan.
The rising cost of necessities is particularly hurting small enterprises, particularly those in the food industry.
Cooking oil prices increased by Rs30 from Rs530 to Rs560 in November, while ghee prices rose to Rs550.
The owners of food carts, restaurants, and hotels are concerned about the soaring costs of cooking oil and ghee, which they claim make it hard to operate their companies.
Since the increase in food commodity prices has put a significant strain on customers’ finances and forced them to cut back on their spending, inflation has dealt a serious blow to their sales.
Households’ finances are also being strained by the ongoing increase in the cost of necessities.
The price increase for ghee and cooking oil is driving up the cost of food and other essentials, which are already being impacted by the rising rate of inflation.
The dissatisfied customers said that the government had not helped the general populace in any way.
The Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI), which measures weekly inflation, increased by 0.28 percent for all consumer categories during the week ending October 17, according to a report released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) on October 18.
