The 0.3% increase of overall prices in the foodstuffs market in Armenia in Oct. 2011 as compared to the previous month is mainly due to the 0.4% to 4.6% increase in meat products, dairy, sugar, fish products, eggs and confectionery.<\/p>\n

The state agency found a 8.2% price increase in confectionery products in Oct. 2011 as compared to the same month last year, and an increase of 4.6% as compared to the month before. This is said to be due to a 9.9% increase in the cost of caramel.<\/p>\n
The average price for eggs rose by 1.1% in Oct. 2011 as compared to last month.<\/p>\n
In terms of fish products, again prices rose, by 1.0% in Oct. 2011 as compared to Sept. 2011 (said to be due to the 1.4% increase in the cost of a local breed of fish known as Ishkhan).<\/p>\n
