People don’t realize how dependent we are on some simple luxuries. Furthermore this number excludes products processed in Malaysia and exported to Singapore as finished goods - like commercial and consumer pastes.

Bro cook?

ABC soup is Carrot, Onion, Potato, Corn and Tomatoes. Take it up a notch and add pork or chicken.

I like to make mine with chicken feet.

That is 2023 number.

Still, tomatoes are a perfect competition good. It's exposed to market supply demand. Meaning it's totally exposed to global equilibrium prices, prices are set by market not sellers. Sellers just sell to the best market. I think any do basic business degree study a bit of economics will know.

That's just your version with added ingredients. Corn and tomatoes, some recipes have them, have one of them, or have none of them.

Don't speak machiam like yours is the definitive version

The original is just potato, onion, carrot.

Ntuc is selling at $4/kg yesterday.
Before covid it was less than $2 per kg.
No wonder hawkers r shirking down the portion size of tomatoes for fish soup. Indian curry that uses lots of tomatoes would cost even more ...pasta , sandwiches all using fresh tomatoes. Soon food cost would go up. My family loves and consume lots of tomatoes in a month. Sianzzz

I notice too ! 3 tomatoes for $2+.

Sure, you can spout whatever you want

Meanwhile people know that tomatoes are highly perishable, widely grown all over the world, has high water content, and low profit margins. Which make export over long distances uneconomical.

Sure, got countries export tomatoes over far distances, air flown, but those are usually the atas heirloom types. Which Msia is not producing.

why not? My family loves to eat this dish. And we make it much better than those lousy restaurants outside. Tomatoes also another staple ingredient for fish head curry

Fish head curry frankly no need tomatoes

Kaopei la rich business owners can absorb cost instead of doing cost pass-through

Tomatoes price are by season.

Coffee went up like up 4x while edmw keep harping coffee shops greedy.

Inflation is a global event.

If you see that the prices can retain or cheaper, sure got funny issue. Example almost all the hawkers now are using those 南阳kopi which are mixed with margarine, maize, sugar, msg and other toxic.
