Further, this was the steepest fall since July 2023, when prices dropped 6.9 percent.

Factory gate prices for food products grew 1.7 percent from last year, largely due to higher costs for dairy products. The price index for food products, beverages, and tobacco climbed 1.0 percent. Prices for chemicals and chemical products rose sharply by 30.8 percent.

Prices for domestic sales increased 0.8 percent in December from a year ago, while those for the export market slid by 7.2 percent.

On a monthly basis, wholesale prices dropped 0.6 percent versus a flat change in November.
