In Pakistan, consumers face high food prices despite a drop in costs, with sellers overcharging.

In Lahore, Pakistan, despite a decline in prices for fruits, vegetables, and chicken, consumers are facing high costs due to sellers overcharging by 20-25%. Items like chicken are priced above government rates, while potatoes and onions have also seen price hikes. In Peshawar, essential food prices remain elevated due to ineffective price controls. In India, post-festival prices for vegetables have dropped significantly, but street vendors continue to sell at higher margins.
