Fish Prices Are Increasing, Oh..My Country 😩

Hello Hiver..good afternoon wherever you are. Today the weather is very sunny in our area, after a week before it rained continuously almost every day. I hope you all have a great day today.

If we read news about the economic conditions of countries around the world in the media, both developing and developed countries, it has been almost 4 years that global economic conditions have been experiencing a recession or decline in all fields. This is despite the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic that occurred 2 years ago which hit almost all countries in the world, and with the emergence of the Covid 19 outbreak at that time it actually worsened global economic conditions including our country Indonesia.

The prices of all goods experienced a very significant increase, especially the price of electronic goods because these goods are imported products. However, what really burdens the people or society in general is the increase in the price of goods in the field of basic food needs, including vegetables and raw fish in them.

About a week ago, I took my son to buy fish at the market. He was very happy when I invited him, because I had promised him to take him for a walk that afternoon. Arriving at the fish market, he immediately pointed and asked about the names of the fish he was pointing at, haha ​​😅

The little boy in blue is my son 😍

One by one I approached the fish sellers and tried to make a price offer. In fact, there was a drastic increase in the price of the fish sold in the market. The impact is felt, both for us buyers and also for those who sell fish. They said in a sad tone, their sales for almost 2 years had dropped very drastically, some of them had even been forced to stop selling fish because they were unable to compete with other sellers who had large capital. oh my country

After making an offer at the right price, I finally bought 1 kilogram of shrimp at a price of Rp. 40,000, - or about US$ 2.6 per kilogram and shrimp is indeed one of my son's favorite foods.
