Price Hike Strikes Canned Sardines in Colombia in W20

In a recent development in Colombia, the prices of canned sardines have experienced a noticeable upswing in thirteen out of twenty-three wholesale markets where they are available. Merchants have attributed this price surge to the growing demand for the popular food item in the past week. The Cartagena market witnessed a significant increase of 5.41%, with the price of a kilo of canned sardines reaching USD 3.39 (COP 14,157). The rising prices of canned sardines have become a cause for concern for both consumers and sellers in Colombia.
