JAKARTA - The increase in the price of fuel oil (BBM) has not affected the price of red chili vegetables at the Kramat Jari Main Market, East Jakarta. Traders said that at the market, chili prices usually spiked drastically, depending on the harvest.
However, due to the increase in fuel prices, traders agreed to adjust prices according to the cost of shipping transportation costs.
"Red chili did not experience a significant price increase due to the impact of rising fuel prices," said Hendra, one of the chili traders to reporters, Monday, September 5.
Meanwhile, according to Simas, another chili trader, the increase in fuel prices has an effect, because the cost between merchandise also increases.
"At the most, in East Java, the increase can be IDR 300 thousand. The increase (price of chili) is also not significant, this is the capital price of IDR 41 thousand, we sell it per kilogram for IDR 48 thousand. That's 200 silver. If 1 ton is added 200 thousand," he explained.
