Food prices are increasing.

Yes may be.

Yes, food has gone up in price literally in every country. It doesn’t make it any easier, but it has. I waste nothing.

@MarieCoyle Increasingly soaring prices mean we have to look for ways to earn additional income.

@AmbiePam Yes and the price rise has increased manifold especially for the more actively used Items.

@astutimeliana723 The alternative could be to increase the productivity of Rice if grown in your place. Or import it from countries that do not charge too much.

Yes, you are all right, the price of rice here is almost double than usual. This really torments people from lower to middle economic levels.

@astutimeliana723 Fuel prices indeed have a big influence overall.

Of course the government has taken several steps to overcome this, especially providing food assistance to poor people. However, the small amount of assistance certainly does not help overcome it significantly. The best solution is to reduce fuel prices, because this affects all prices on the market.

@astutimeliana723 In most cases, inflation is to blame for the price hikes. The cost to keep the chickens alive, for example, to lay the eggs, climbs. Therefore, that goes to the consumer.

@kaylachan Yes, that's also true, inflation makes money decrease in value.

Apart from inflation, it may also be due to post-election factors here. Our president will soon be replaced.

@astutimeliana723 Just eat only noodles

@RebeccasFarm Really???

That's very cool, but how do we save, while prices are rising is the most important and urgent thing. Such as staple food and fuel.

@astutimeliana723 I understand.I'm a Hindu.On our festival days we offer fruits and flowers in our temples.In those days prices of fruits and flowers go up.

I'm not sure what the main cause is. But in Indonesia, usually because it coincides with the arrival of the month of Ramadan, food prices are used to rising when approaching Ramadan and before Eid.

Yes, you are right.

Even the USD to rupiah exchange rate is very high. 1 USD is almost 16,000 rupiah.

Sad to hear, hopefully things will return to normal soon.

It seems to happen in almost all countries around the world. That's sad.

Of course I'm fine, but just a little confused by the soaring costs of living.

That's sad.
