The amount of commodities from other States and Regions to Bayintnaung market plummets by three fourths during the COVID – 19 outbreak

The amount of commodities coming from various states and regions to the Bayintnaung Wholesale Market in Yangon Region has reduced by three fourths during the Covid-19 outbreak, said wholesale market chairman Khin Han. 

“Due to travel restrictions, only one quarter of goods come to Bayintnaung Market. That means they have decreased by three quarters. Previously, 1,000 to 1,300 trucks came to the market daily. Now, we see only 350 to 400 a day,” he said. 

He, however, commented that commodities could increase on Monday or Tuesday. 

According to the market data on October 2, onion prices ranged from Ks800 to 1,250 per viss depending on quality while garlic prices ranged from Ks1,850 to 2,100 per viss. 

On September 14, onion prices ranged from Ks425 to 525 per viss depending on quality while garlic prices ranged from Ks1,850 to 2,100 per viss.
