National food price inflation remains of significant concern. Nepal Rastra Bank’s latest data indicates yearon-year food price inflation over 13 percent and cereal grain price inflation of over 15 percent.
Expected seasonal price decreases (following the summer crop harvest from October-November) in coarse rice were not experienced in most markets.
The overall supply situation in the country is good and markets in the hills, mountains and Terai remain generally relatively well stocked.
