translated from Spanish: Increases distress families unemployed in Mazatlan

Mazatlan, Sinaloa.- Market traders Pino Suarez reported the price increase amid the health alert. The tomato went up almost twice as high. From costing 8 pesos a kilo, it rose to 14 pesos.

The serrano chili did increase to 100 percent, from 20 pesos, increased to 40 pesos a kilo, explained the locals of the fruit shops. The price of avocado also went from 40 to 60 pesos a kilo. Anguish
This rise to the products of the basic basket has the population distressed. Some clients argued that they find the increase unfair, because between the unemployment crisis and the health contingency situation, it is of concern not to have to buy food for the family.
We’re not going to die for the coronavirus, we’re going to starve because everything has gone up, said Jorge Mendoza, client.

Mendoza indicated that the price increase is unfair, as many families are out of work and seek to buy the essentials at affordable prices. Low sales
The locators reported that sales have fallen to 70 percent. Heladio Mandujano detailed that the profit collapse is significant.” From 3 thousand or even 4 thousand pesos that I sold every day, today I only sell 800,” he explained. Traders regretted that due to the low sales generated by the contingency, they fail to pay all the receipts and debts they have. The price increase has also caused the few customers arriving at the power plant to shrink. People who bought a kilo of tomato only carry half a kilo, and so it is with all the products that have increased prices. The value of the egg portfolio remains at 85 pesos. The kilo costs 44 pesos, according to the sellers. You may be interested in
