This was reported by the “Iran Focus”.

However, official reports do not reflect these price hikes. For example, while the Statistical Center of Iran reported only a 2% increase in the official price of cooking oil, market data indicates a 15% rise.

The Iranian regime’s Statistical Center published a report titled “Average Prices of Selected Food Items in Urban Areas – January 2024” on January 29.

According to this report, the prices of 53 food items increased by an average of about 37% in December 2024 and early January 2025 compared to the same period the previous year.

The Statistical Center reported a 22% increase in the price of imported rice in January 2025 compared to the previous year. However, market analysis indicates that a 10-kilogram bag of Pakistani rice, which cost 6.5 million rials (approximately $0.70) in late January last year, is now being sold for around 17.5 million rials (approximately $2.10) in the market. This represents an increase of approximately 170%.

The Statistical Center reports that the price of lamb meat increased by approximately 27% in January 2025 compared to January 2024. However, market data shows that a three-kilogram package of lamb shoulder meat has risen by 81% over the same period.
