KUWAIT: Kuwait Times launched a campaign a month before the advent of Ramadan to monitor changes in prices of some basic commodities. The survey compares the prices per kilogram of five different kinds of commodities sold at co-ops on a weekly basis. These items are the most popular, whose prices usually hike during Ramadan. This year we also added eggs, milk and frozen chicken to the earlier list of minced meat, chicken, tomatoes, lemons and cucumbers. Comparing prices two weeks ago with prices this week, we noticed a significant increase in the price of cucumber, and a drop in the price of tomatoes.
Kuwait Times will be monitoring the prices of these products to check if any increases occur until the middle of the holy month of Ramadan. Follow Kuwait Times next week to read our next report. Prices are the same in all co-ops for the same kind and brand of product, but may differ in other supermarkets. Also, co-ops hold weekly food festivals with discounts on fruits and vegetables.
