PETALING JAYA: There is a stable supply of essential food items for the fasting month of Ramadan, but prices have slightly increased due to high demand, say traders.

Khairul Anwar Ab Majid, who sells beef at the TTDI market, said that his supply of local and imported beef is stable, but the prices have generally gone up by 15% to 35% since last month.
