Kabul Food Inflation
Afghanistan: Kabul residents complain about rising food prices
Kabul: Residents of Afghanistan's capital city Kabul are complaining about high price of food materials despite the dollar’s value dropping against Afghan currency.
One dollar was sold for 86 Afs on Sunday.
The residents have urged the Taliban government to take steps to control the price of essential commodities.
“The unemployment has increased. Although the dollar dropped the prices are still high,” Deen Mohammad, a resident of Kabul, told Tolo News.
The Chamber of Craftsman and Shopkeepers said Ukraine tensions are affecting prices.
“The price of food materials has increased in the international market since the war in Ukraine began, so its negative impacts hit Afghanistan as well,” Abdul Haq Omari, head of the chamber, was quoted as saying by the news portal.
