On a month-on-month basis, producer prices dropped 0.2 percent, reversing a 0.3 percent increase in January.

Data also showed that the export price index logged a decline of 6.9 percent, and import prices dropped by 5.9 percent. The decrease in the export price index was especially due to the lower prices of basic metals, paper and paper products, and chemicals and chemical products.
