The prices of staple food items has risen following the start of Ramadan, according to a report in Haveeru.
Potato, carrot and tomato all increased in price, while watermelon increased to Rf15 (from Rf8 this time last year).
Demand for watermelon skyrockets during the holy month of fasting, with the fruit a very popular Ramadan breakfast item because of its high water and glucose content.
Dried fish rose in price to Rf35-Rf40 a unit, while fresh tuna ranges from Rf25 to Rf50.
