Peru: Food prices drop in Lima markets
Living in Peru
Israel J. Ruiz
In a bulletin released by Peru's ministry of agriculture (MINAG), it was confirmed that the price of food was decreasing in Lima.
According to MINAG, products had gone down as much as 13 percent in markets in Lima.
The price of chicken, which is a great concern to the majority of Limean households, dropped to 4.20 soles per kilogram.
The prices of fruits and vegetables have also decreased. Limes, which cost 3.37 soles, have gone down 12.9 percent to 2.93 soles per kilo.
This was also the case of peas, which have gone from 2.38 per kilo to 2.10 per kilo ( an 11.58 percent drop).
MINAG reported that while the price of huayro potatoes had gone down, the prices of yellow and tumbay potatoes had remained the same.
Products that slightly went up were carrots, which saw a 6 percent increase and yellow cassavas, which increased almost 11 percent to 1.05 soles per kilo.

Well of course prices would drop by around 15% - that's how much of the population have been killed off by starvation.
Fujimori wouldn't let this happen. From just a couple of fish and some bread he can feed thousands - I read it in his book.
