Cost of living in Turkey: ‘We used to gain by weight, now it is balanced with numbers’
With the pandemic, food prices have been on the agenda of the world for the last year. Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) practice increased by 29.38 on a standard-style basis. Turkish tradesmen, which are applied to the prices in public life, attribute the “market” in their prices to a gang.
According to the excessive inflation filtered in August, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), inflation was 19.25 percent in August.
Food attack, with 3.18 percent inflation in August, found 29 percent.
It is not only in fruit and vegetables, but also in TUIK field, 26 percent in bread, 21 percent in pasta.
This rate is 64 percent in chicken meat, 23 percent in beef, 60 percent in sunflower oil, 49 percent in eggs, and 35 percent in yogurt.
The price reflected in the bazaar market is double at this level. In addition to this, it becomes even more difficult with those who shop from the market between the differences in product prices in the market.
According to the results of the August 2021 Hunger and Poverty Boundary Research results of the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (Türk-İş), 2 926 liras and 72 cents for a patient of four and enough to be sufficient.
The reason for this difficulty in food prices, which cannot intimidate a son in Turkey?
According to some tradesmen, the supply cannot meet the demand due to their main job:
Some shopkeepers, who say, “There is a gang that determines food prices, it determines them”, attribute this person to stockists and say that prices are made by companies by monopolizing certain.
Craftsmen have trained unsupervisedness, which means controllability. Products that can be carried by citizens, and those who emphasize are preferred for products on the shelves, such as tradesmen.
It’s not very heartwarming when we ask if we can’t send this answer. Because it is said that food is monopolized.
