From the case of 5 instant noodle manufacturers, namely Mama Wai Wai, Yum Yum, Nissin and Sue Sue gathered for the first time in over 50 years to sign a letter requesting the Department of Internal Trade Ministry of Commerce Accelerate the consideration of the request for a price increase of 2 baht to 8 baht
This is because all manufacturers risk losses from increased production costs in a long-term adjustment. Unlike in the past, the price was only temporarily rising.
Today (16 Aug.) Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce interviewed by stating That instant noodles used to adjust the price once from 5 baht per pack to 6 baht per pack in 2008 or 14 years ago, which was the last time they asked to adjust the price. is two years ago But the Department of Internal Trade still does not allow it. because it must take into account the impact of the burden on consumers
“Right now, if we have to cut down to meet the actual cost increase. will have to adjust the price It will be in accordance with the actual higher costs and the least trouble for consumers. At the same time, it must allow entrepreneurs to live as well. Do not experience loss and production stoppage. and go export only because foreign prices are better in order to continue to have instant noodles for consumption.” Mr. Jurinsay
However, the principle still requires the Department of Internal Trade to consider one more thing, namely the case of raising prices based on costs. If the cost has been reduced, the price must be reduced as well. The Department of Internal Trade will closely monitor the cost situation.
