tayyar.org – Food prices increase again
The head of the Lebanon Food Importers Syndicate confirmed that the rise in food prices primarily reflects the impact of transportation and energy costs, rather than being directly related to disruptions in waterways like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el Mandeb. He explained that price increases typically range between 3 and 5 percent, and can reach up to 10 percent for specific items such as meats due to their global price increases. Meanwhile, other products like poultry have not experienced significant increases. He pointed out that the rise in price levels is due to operational costs and reliance on energy, but overall, the increase has averaged only 1 to 2 percent compared to the previous month, with consumers perceiving the increase differently. He called on the Lebanese government to ease the burden by avoiding new taxes and reducing taxes on energy prices to alleviate pressures on citizens and businesses.
