Other products have maintained their cost despite the emergency registered in the region. Chicken, Yungay potato, yellow potato, pea and lemon have maintained their price.
On the other hand, passion fruit decreased in value by S/1 and now costs S/5 per kilo. Market traders report that sales have decreased as a result of the rains. The start of the school season has also affected sales.
