High market prices in Rongài are straining residents, especially low-income families. Rising transportation costs, seasonal supply changes, population growth, and limited price regulation have driven up the cost of essential goods like food and household items. As a result, many households are forced to cut expenses or choose cheaper alternatives. Addressing the issue requires better infrastructure, improved supply systems, and policies to stabilize prices.
