The price of lunch packets will be increased due to the highest depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee against the US dollar and the shortage of the LP gas cylinders, All Island Canteen Owners Association Chairman Asela Sampath said today.

He stated that the price of a lunch packet has risen by Rs. 30.Accordingly, the price of a Kottu will also be increased.

"The price of a kilo of chicken would increase to Rs.1,000. The price of an egg will be increased to Rs. 30. A kilo of coconut oil costs Rs. 720. After increasing the price of lunch packets, sales will gradually drop. The country is to celebrate International Consumers' Day on March 15. By that day, the consumers will be hungry, in the dark and in queues, "he said. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

When prices increase consumption drops but with more production than consumption prices adjust and consumption gradually increases
