Inflation pushes up the cost of selling prices and mooncake sales still increase by 20% this year
Have you bought your mid-autumn mooncakes this year? ![]()
With less than a week left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mooncake markets across the country are already warming up early.
With the loosening of Covid-19 restriction measures, businesses surveyed reported a two-year high in mooncake sales this year, with an increase of about 20%. With more employees returning to their workplaces, a number of businesses ordered mooncakes to give to their customers this year.
However, inflation has pushed up the cost of making mooncakes, resulting in a 5% to 10% increase in the selling price. The price of ingredients used to make mooncakes has risen sharply, especially sugar and flour, forcing bakers to increase their prices.
Any other flavor you like? ![]()
