JAKARTA - The price of shallots in Jayawijaya Regency, Papua rose to Rp. 95 thousand per kg. Whereas the previous price was IDR 70 thousand per kg in a number of markets.

Head of the Jayawijaya Department of Manpower, Industry and Trade, Lukas Kossay in Wamena, said the increase did not apply to local shallots, which were still around Rp. 50,000 per kilogram.

"Shallots imported from Jayapura from a price of Rp. 70 thousand per kilogram rose to Rp. 95 thousand per kilogram. The increase was due to a shortage of supply from Jayapura, which affected prices from distributors," said Lukas Kossay, Wednesday, June 29, quoted from Antara.

Another commodity that experienced an increase in price was tomatoes from Jayapura, from Rp. 30 thousand to Rp. 35 thousand per kilogram.

Meanwhile, chili prices did not increase. Still settled on large red chilies at Rp. 100,000 per kilogram, curly red chilies at Rp. 80 thousand per kilogram, local cayenne peppers at Rp. 80 thousand per kilogram, and large green chilies at Rp. 50 thousand per kilogram.
