Price of Potato To Double In The Coming Days
The price of potatoes, carrots, onions and
sweet peppers are expected to increase as
much as 50% for December, a lot less than
the 300% increase experienced last December.
The increase is an estimate by the
Corporación Hortícola Nacional for the
holiday season when demand for the products,
that are commonly used in the traditional
tamal, is at its peak.
According to the Corporación Hortícola
Nacional the current price for a kilogram of
potatoes is ¢340 colones, but could be
double that or more in the coming days.
The president of the Corporación, Giovanni
Masís, explained that a good harvest this
year will mean lower prices than that of
last year.
