Description:
"The MAU tracks market prices in Central and Northern Rakhine State and Chin State. Data are collected from three vendors per product per market in the last week of each month. Data and product specifications are available online through the MPR dashboard at www.themimu.info/market-analysis-unit.....
KEY FINDINGS.....
Cooking oil prices rose 7% in June, but prices for other essentials like rice and pulses were fairly stable
Some vegetables prices rose 40-60% amid reports that road closures significantly increased shipping costs;
Meat/fish prices rose another 5-9% in June, continuing upward at a pace similar to May;
Toothpaste and detergent prices rose 12-17%, but other hygiene NFIs were stable after May's sharp hikes;
NFI prices rose 6-15% in June, and NFI price hikes were particularly steep in Kyauktaw and Ponnagyun;
Hygiene NFI prices remained 100-300% above 2023, while other NFIs were often double last year's levels;
Hygiene and shelter NFI prices will likely keep rising, putting some items out of reach of most households;
Prices may cool in some markets in July, such as Pon-nagyun and Myebon, where prices spiked in June..."
