Ana Francisca Sanaguano, police commissioner in the Riobamba canton, together with the Municipal Public Company Mercado de Productores Agrícolas “San Pedro de Riobamba” (Emmpa), carry out an inspection in the markets according to the daily price control table , since with the monitoring and analysis of the basic basket, some products that have suffered from inflation, the economic impact on consumers can be understood to evaluate the stability of prices in the market.
Important. The basic basket is a set of essential goods and services for a family of four members that is measured through the Consumer Price Index (IPC), an organization that studies price variations and their representation in national households.
The evolution of costs in this basket is a key indicator of inflation, which refers to the general and sustained increase in the costs of an economy
Handling. The economic situation at the national level is complicated, there are no jobs, people have debts and inflation is rising more and more, so in an effort to survive the crisis, sellers create strategies that harm the rest of the citizenry, such as the manipulation of the balance so that it weighs one more ounce, among other actions, for which precautionary measures have been taken, such as the price list in view of citizens, a mandatory requirement for all markets.
Find out. In the basic food basket of Riobambeños, the most consumed products are potatoes, rice, grains, flour, noodles and oil, of these the ones that have been most affected by inflation are rice, which went from costing $11 per arroba to 12, in addition the oil that from 65 cents rose to 80 is an increase that although it does not seem high, in the pocket of the citizens it does have weight.
Important. Finally, the commissioner calls on the public to report when there is an increase in prices in the markets, ensuring that everything will remain anonymous.
