The All Island Canteen and Restaurant Owners’ Association (AICROA) announced a reduction in food prices following decreases in the costs of domestic LP gas, vegetables, and eggs. Prices for fried rice, rice and curry, and kottu have been lowered by Rs. 25, while short eats like paratha and egg rotti are reduced by Rs. 10. The price of plain tea is reduced by Rs. 5, but milk tea prices remain unchanged due to stable imported milk powder costs. Consumers are encouraged to benefit from these new prices.

Addressing the media, the Association’s President Harshana Rukshan announced that the prices of fried rice, rice and curry and kottu was reduced by Rs. 25.

The prices of short eats, including paratha and egg rotti, was reduced by Rs. 10.

In line with these reductions, the price of a cup of plain tea was reduced by Rs. 5.

However, there will be no price reduction on a cup of milk tea since the cost of imported milk powder has not decreased significantly.

The President of the Association has urged all Canteen and Restaurant owners to pass on the benefits of reduced prices for domestic LP gas, vegetables and eggs to the consumers.
