on November 2014, retail prices of most food commodities monitored across the country showed a mixed trend. On a month-on-month basis, the retail price of coarse rice declined by 2.9 percent, while that of wheat flour marginally increased by 0.2 percent. Prices of black gram and broken lentil marginally went up by 0.3 percent and 1.9 percent respectively, while that of soybean oil and chicken meat decreased by 2.2 percent and 3.8 percent respectively. The price of red potato climbed up by 1.4 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 and chicken meat). Prices in regional markets showed somewhat different trends than national averages, with an upward trend for coarse rice in all markets (with the exception of the Terai markets), while the price of wheat flour remained stable in all markets with the exception of a declining trend in the mountain and hill markets with access to roads. The price of broken lentil showed an upward trend in all markets. Wholesale prices regularly monitored by FNCCI/AEC in the five large markets of Birtamod, Kathmandu, Butwal, Surkhet and Dhangadhi remained relatively stable with the exception of the price of coarse rice over the past one month. Wholesale prices monitored in the Kalimati Fruits and Vegetables Market showed a high seasonal fluctuation: prices of bitter gourd, smooth gourd, cowpea, brinjal and cabbage increased by more than 10 percent due to a reduction in supply, while that of tomato, cauliflower, green peas and pumpkin decreased by more than 17 percent over the past one month.
