The Ministry of Trade and Industry, through the Consumer Affairs Division is reminding consumers of their power of choice especially in light of rising prices of goods and services internationally and locally.
In a media release on Tuesday, the Division said over the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy.
The Division said these rising prices are mainly attributed to disruptions in international supply chains; increased shipping costs; adverse weather conditions; and declines in production in leading economies among other factors.
The Division also urged consumers to buy and eat local, reconsider/change consumption patterns and to grow their own fruits and vegetables.
