Ice-Cream, Fruit Juice Prices Increase by 25%

Ice-cream and fruit juice prices have increased by 25% as of May 22.
“The prices of milk and sugar have experienced a nearly twofold increase. Yet, we could not double the prices because then people could not afford to buy ice-cream or fruit juice at all,” the head of Ice-Cream and Fruit Juice Union, Eskandar Azmoudeh, was quoted as saying by ILNA.
The official noted that since ice-cream and fruit juice are not considered essential commodities like bread and rice or vegetable oil, many Iranian households are expected to remove them from their expenditure basket.
