- Compared to January 2020, some food commodities’ prices increased in all monitored markets in 2021 of the same month, such as vegetable and cotton oils (32-62 percent), beef, mutton and chicken (2.4-17.3 percent), potatoes (10-46 percent), haricot beans (13-60 percent), dried green peas (1.4-37.4 percent), sugar (25-43 percent), eggs (16-36 percent), bread (33-145 percent) and wheat flour - first grade (4-20 percent).
