Similar to staple foods, the food price index in October 2024 increased by 0.66%. Specifically, the price of fresh, dried, and processed vegetables increased by 3% due to increased consumer demand during the month, while some vegetables and fruits were at the end of their season, and rainy, stormy, and flood-affected weather in many localities impacted supply.

In addition, egg prices increased by 0.18%.
Prices of fresh seafood increased by 0.36% due to increased demand and decreased catch volumes during the rainy and stormy season, which limited fishing vessels from going out to sea, resulting in reduced seafood catches.

In addition, many types of fresh and processed fruits have also increased in price since last month, including many popular fruits such as bananas and mangoes. Spices, confectionery, tea, and coffee also increased in price in October, and significantly compared to the beginning of this year.
Rising food prices are also putting pressure on household spending. Despite recent salary increases, residents report that the rising prices of essential goods and services are still forcing them to carefully budget their expenses.
