For snacks that have been sold for 10 yen each for more than 40 years under the name of "Umaibo", the manufacturer who plans and sells the product will be on the 27th, due to the rise in raw material prices, etc. Announced that the price will be raised by 2 yen.
This is the first price increase since its launch.
The price will be raised for stick-shaped snacks planned by a confectionery maker in Sumida-ku, Tokyo and sold under the name "Umaibo".
This confectionery has maintained a price of 10 yen per bottle since its launch in 1979, and has been popular for many years due to its cheapness and variety of flavors, but the manufacturer is on the 27th, this April 1st. We have officially announced that we will raise the price by 2 yen from the shipment to 12 yen per bottle.
The reason for the price increase is that the purchase price of raw corn and oil has risen significantly, and the cost of packaging materials and distribution for confectionery has also risen, making it difficult to maintain the price.
This is the first time that the price has been raised since its launch, and Yaokin, which plans and sells confectionery, said, "The cost increase has exceeded the acceptable range. I would like to ask for your understanding for the stable supply of products in the future." I have commented.
With the rise in raw material prices and other factors, the prices of products that are familiar to people in daily life are rising one after another, and the low unit price is also having an impact on the field of sweets that have been popular with children.
