Accordingly, the weight assigned to a particular food or non-food item may differ from state to state making interstate comparisons of consumption basket inadvisable and potentially misleading.

But wait! It's April not May

But its fasting, why are they stocking up on food?

Food prices arw of no consequence to me but tje prices of syeel products, one my main raw materials is just something else. Every year at this time there seems to be a cataclysmic rise that aifts local producers ans closes a number of them.

"Increased to" not "increased by"

Buharists have avoided this tread like ebola.
They brought us here

all negative tins increased under buhari, unemployment, death,suicide,inflation, happiness, naira value,hunger etc

So inflation is happening in UAE, OMAN, Saudi ARABIA etc because of Ramadan fasting
