Normally, September should have entered the rainy season. And usually the rainy season starts at the beginning of the month. But currently, in September, there are only signs of the arrival of the rainy season. Because even though a few days ago there was rain coming to my area. But there are no signs of rain again. Maybe this year's rainy season will start in October. And farmers have been waiting for this.

But now there are things to worry about that will impact price changes on a global scale. Namely, there is news that the price of oil and gas has increased again. But fortunately the increase is not that high. So the impact is not yet felt.
The news of an increase in fuel prices is not just a rumor but has actually been implemented now. And actually the increase has occurred since September 1. I don't know about your area, but in my area the increase has occurred since September 1st. Where the fuel increase actually only applies to non-subsidized fuel. And the increase that occurred was actually quite high, namely around 10 percent for each type of fuel oil.

And clearly this increase has caused transportation costs to increase. Not only that, you have to check the prices of snacks in traditional markets. You will be surprised at the increase that occurs. But there are some products that choose not to increase prices. But they reduced the contents of their products. So it's the same.
