Sebelumnya, harga jual cabai rawit hanya Rp 35.000 per kilogram, saat ini naik menjadi Rp 70.000 per kilogram. Penyebabnya pasokan dari petani lokal kosong.

Selain itu, tomat, cabai merah dan aneka kacang juga dipasok dari daerah dataran tinggi di Sumatera Utara itu.
Menjelang akhir tahun 2017 ini, bukan hanya cabai rawit yang mengalami kenaikan. Namun bahan pokok lainnya seperti telur, ayam, beras juga mengalami kenaikan.
“Harga ayam buras saat ini Rp30 ribu per kilogram, padahal sebelumnya hanya Rp22 ribu. Ayam saat ini sedang langka juga, karena sebelumnya banyak dibeli untuk kebutuhan perayaan maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW. Ini bersambung dengan tahun baru,” sebut pedagang lainnya, Muhammad Amin.
Pedagang beras, Ibrahim mnyebutkan harga beras mengalami kenaikan Rp 15.000 per 15 kilogram. “Kalau bulan lalu itu hanya Rp 135.000 per karung isi 15 kilogram, sekarang sudah Rp 150 ribu,” terangnya.
