Shopkeepers linked soaring prices mainly due to increased rice exports, which have limited the supply available locally. Additionally, higher costs of agricultural inputs in Punjab, a key rice-producing region, have pushed prices further up.
With Eid just around the corner, this surge in rice prices is worrying many families who rely on it as a staple, making festive preparations more expensive amid ongoing inflation.
Garam masala ingredients like cumin, cloves, black pepper, black cardamom, and cinnamon have become 20 to 25 percent more expensive.
