Food inflation rate reduced, thanks to Menu Rahmah, says Salahuddin


KUALA LUMPUR: The Menu Rahmah initiative has successfully contributed to the reduction of the inflation rate of food outside the home prices for the first time since August 2021, says Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub.

The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said the inflation for food outside the home had dropped from 9.6% to 9.3% since the initiative pioneered by voluntary food operators was introduced last January.
