Brief Note: Overall, food prices during October–December 2025 were significantly more volatile than the same period in 2024. Price pressures were most evident among import-dependent items such as wheat grain, wheat flour, rice, and cooking oil, while pulses, sugar, and salt remained stable. Seasonal availability influenced tomato and potato prices, whereas the decline in onion prices was driven by reduced exports and higher domestic supply. Meanwhile, stable exchange rates and falling diesel prices helped temper inflationary pressures, though these factors were insufficient to fully offset supply-side disruptions and market uncertainty.
