Temporary local fluctuations in prices were observed in certain areas, but these have remained limited and short-lived.
Officials stated that ongoing monitoring of rainfall patterns, crop conditions, and market supply is being carried out to prevent any potential inflationary pressures. They added that contingency measures are in place to ensure adequate supply if weather-related disruptions persist in the coming weeks.
