The increase in the price of sea fish has occurred in almost all traditional markets in North Aceh. At Bungkaih Market, for example, the market for this commodity has increased by 10-20%, higher than normal, such as tuna.
On Monday morning, the price reached 16 thousand rupiah per kilogram. Whereas usually the price of tuna is around 11-12 thousand rupiah per kilogram.
Wet squid has jumped from 30 thousand rupiah to 40 thousand rupiah per kilogram. And mackerel has increased from 35 thousand to 45 thousand rupiah per kilogram.
The soaring price of sea fish is due to scarce supplies. This condition is certainly worrying for consumers, especially buyers who will reprocess fish for a number of downstream industries.
The increase in the price of sea fish will continue for at least the next week. Because weather changes are still unpredictable.
Greetings always compact.
