The Prices and Incomes Board (PIB) has stressed that traders can only sell their products below the mark-up price decided by PIB.

Acting Secretary Lucy Naimawi said PIB has a list of percentage mark-up price items and traders directly importing items should sell them according to the prices.

She added they only focus on items on percentage markup following devaluation.

According to Naimawi, traders are told to provide documentary evidence if they have bought certain items at a higher price.

The items which come under price control includes, baby milk and food, powdered milk, butter, margarine, imported chicken, corned beef and mutton, dhal, peas, oil, ghee, noodles, onion, potatoes, rice, salt, sugar, imported meat and fuel.
