Reasons for price increases At each company, the prices of raw materials such as flour, cooking oil, and beef are soaring due to the expansion of global demand while the economic activities that have been depressed due to the corona disaster are normalizing, and the price of crude oil is high. This is because distribution costs are also rising.
