Rice price up
According to Oriental Daily News, Padiberas Nasional Berhad (BERNAS) has officially notified wholesalers of price increase affecting all types of rice, with effect from July 1.

The margin of price increase ranges from 5 to 8%. This is expected to translate into an increase of between 50 sen to RM2 at the retail outlets.

This is the second time the rice price has increased. The last round was in April.
Glutinous rice has the highest price hike margin, from RM2.60 per kilo to RM2.80 per kilo.

The wholesale price of glutinous rice has been spiralling from RM1.85 per kilo early this year, to RM2.50 in February, and onward to RM2.60 in April.

With the latest increase in wholesale price, glutinous rice is expected to be retailed around RM3.20 per kilo.

Alternatives?
There is a 7-word maxim for housewives who read Chinese wisdom. They have to raise the family by guarding a balanced account in the seven essentials in daily life: Fuel, rice, oil, salt, beverages, sauces and vinegar.
