In December 2013, retail prices of most food commodities monitored in 12 markets across Nepal showed a downward trend due to the increased supply of recently harvested crops or improved access to roads mainly in the Hill and Mountain regions.
Overall inflation rate released by Nepal Rastra Bank in December 2013 was 10.3 percent. The food and beverage group was higher at 14.5 percent as were several sub-groups: vegetables (36.6 percent), meat and fish (27.9percent), fruits (16.8 percent) and cereal grains (12.9 percent).
