ABSTRACT

The price rise of vegetables has a greater effect on the people’s livelihood. There are two aspects to the increased price of vegetables. One is the seasonal price differential, namely, the price falls in the peak seasons and rises in the off seasons. Another kind of price rise occurs when the price is higher than the price in the same period the year before. The basic starting point of price policy of the government has always been to first ensure the price stability of the commodities that are necessities for people because these commodities are regularly needed in large quantities by the whole country, and they are the main part of family expenses. The price rise of some small local products is because production lags behind demand. Only a portion of the commodity price increases caused peasants to increase their expenditure, but comparatively, peasants increased income more than the increase in expenditure.
