Prices of black gram and broken lentil marginally increased by 0.3 percent and 0.6 percent respectively, while that of soybean oil and chicken meat decreased by 0.9 percent and 2.8 percent respectively.However, the price of red potato increased by 3.3 percent. Compared to three months earlier, most prices showed an upward trend with the exception of soybean oil and chicken meat. Similarly, compared to the same period last year, most prices showed an upward trend (with the exception of soybean oil). Prices in regional markets showed somewhat different trends than national averages, with an upward trend of coarse rice in all markets, but the price of wheat flour remained stable in all markets with the exception of a declining trend in the Terai markets. The price of broken lentil showed an upward trend in the major consumer markets of Kathmandu and Pokhara, remained stable in Terai markets and a downward trend in the mountain and hill markets with access to roads.
