Nasi lemak sellers in the state are facing the inevitable need to raise prices by up to RM2 per packet starting next year if coconut milk prices continue to rise. Prices have already increased from RM10 to RM12 per kilogram since the beginning of the month, posing a significant challenge to sellers like Norita Ismail, who needs up to seven kilograms of coconut milk daily to prepare for 1,000 packets of nasi lemak. The sudden price hikes have left sellers with no other choice but to pass on the cost to customers.

: Nasi lemak sellers in the state have no choice but to raise the price of nasi lemak by up to RM2 per packet starting next year if the price of coconut milk continues to rise.

“Coconut milk is one of the main ingredients in preparing nasi lemak. Every day we need six to seven kilograms of coconut milk for 1,000 packets of nasi lemak, which is now sold at RM1.50 per packet. “We don’t want to increase the price of nasi lemak hastily. We also consider the financial situation of the consumers. It might happen after next year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri if the price of coconut milk keeps rising,“ she told the Malay daily.

Another nasi lemak seller, Ilyana Mohamad, 39, said she could no longer bear the losses due to the rising prices of coconut milk and other ingredients since the beginning of last month.
