Price Inconsistencies of Pork in the Market
November 20, 2025
Despite the decrease in the producer price of pork, the prices consumers pay have not decreased accordingly, and further increases are expected ahead of Christmas. Consumers are turning to cheaper options like chicken. The absence of fresh meats from the price comparison platform, e-kalathi, allows supermarkets to maintain higher prices. Therefore, the inclusion of key pork items in e-kalathi is suggested. The Consumer Protection Agency is examining ways to upgrade the platform.
