• Eggs: MVR 320 per case
• Potatoes: MVR 310 per basket
• Onions: MVR 310 per basket

For retail customers, prices at STO People’s Choice outlets are:

• Eggs: MVR 2 per unit
• Potatoes: MVR 18 per kg

Additionally, the company has begun selling fresh lemons in response to recent price increases. Wholesale customers can buy lemons at MVR 145 per 5 kg case, while retail prices at STO Supermarket are MVR 40 per kg.

STO has also planned to import a variety of food items across four categories, including basic staples, fresh vegetables and fruits, processed foods, and cooking ingredients, ensuring continued availability and price stability throughout Ramadan.
