Not just food, almost all basic commodities' prices rose due to the pandemic. I think this is to be expected since most companies and manufacturers had to permanently or temporarily stop their production. Even local farmers were not able to produce due to the lockdown. Traveling products from place to place is also difficult due to strict protocols of the pandemic. That is why they have no choice but the increase the price. The pandemic had been a huge burden to all of us, people losing jobs, prices are increasing and we have limited access to everything.

The production of products and other goods have been paused for a couple of months because of pandemic. Many businesses were shut down and production rate goes slow because there is no employee who can work specially for those in factory or physical workers. I just wonder why does the prices doubled where in fact we are in disaster. I knew that when there is a catastrophe, the prices should not move above its price before the disaster came. It is called as price freeze and it must be implemented because other businesses are taking advantage to the current situation of citizens. Anyway, I hope that this pandemic ends already because we suffered a lot and buying our basic commodities seem to be hard specially to the poor people like me.
