Basic Bulgarian Food Staples Register Record Price Hike

The price of sugar has hit a record high in Bulgaria in February, according to data from the State Commission for Commodity Exchanges and Market Places.

Prices in Bulgaria continue to climb with sugar price up 22% and those of cooking oil and flour – up nearly 7%, in the course of just one month.

Beans, milk products, fish, pork and chicken meat are up from 1% to 2%;
cabbage and potatoes - 34% and 20% respectively, cucumbers – 11%.

Prices of rice, some meat products, oranges and lemons are down;
the price of eggs remains unchanged.

On annual basis, compared to February 2010, price of cooking oil is up 52% and the price of flour is up 41% - these are the most staggering product price hikes, according to the Commission's data.

Other large annual price increases include sugar, lentils, milk products, fish and chicken meat – between 20%-30% while prices of eggs and hot dogs are down 28% and 8% respectively.

Gosh seems to be getting more and more expensive to live in BG now - If priced go up any higher the normal pension will not go very far. Make you wonder how do the Bulgarians manage on their little pension of 200lev a month our less.

Oddy

A news report on BTV yesterday asserted that petrol in Bulgaria is now the most expensive in Europe. Seems crazy. All the "
cheap"
vegetables are now being hiked substantially as well.
