JAKARTA - The ketupat skin trader at the Cihaurgeulis or Suci Market in Bandung, West Java, Burhanudin, admitted that the sale of diamond skin during the Lebaran 2022 momentum has decreased compared to last year's Eid.

"Last year, in two days I was able to sell approximately 4 thousand (skins) of ketupat at a price of one thousand per one. But this year, about a thousand pieces were sold in two days," said Burhanudin, as quoted by Antara, Sunday. .

According to Burhanudin, last year there was a PPKM regulation during the COVID-19 pandemic so that there were only a few traders selling ketupat skin, while consumer demand remained high.

"Last year, although there were not many who sold ketupat (skin), there were still many who were looking for it. So many were sold," said Burhanudin.

Another trader at Sayati Market, Bandung Regency, Dasep, also admitted that his sales turnover had decreased compared to last year.

Dasep said that for the last three days he had only sold 500 pieces of diamond skin.

"Last year, the three days sold more than 500 pieces. So it's quite sluggish for this year," said Dasep.

Dasep said that currently a lot of people are selling Lebaran ketupat skins at Sayati Market, Bandung Regency, so that this affects their sales turnover.
