They take advantage of the living. Flower prices skyrocketed this week in the Huancayo markets. The dozen roses and gladioli tripled and rose to 30 soles at the Jirón Cajamarca flower market, at the El Tambo market and at Paseo La Breña and Jirón San Martín, because they are the varieties most in demand by families to bring for the All Saints’ Day.
“A dozen gladioli costs 30 soles and this is too much, it is no longer affordable for the families who are now in crisis,” claimed Rubén Aliaga, who only bought a dozen gladioli that he will have to share in several tombs. The floral arrangements cost from 30 soles.
“We sell flowers that we bring from Comas, it is true that the price increased due to high demand, but it will only be two days,” said flower grower María Gaspar who brought her production from the Comas district in Concepción to sell.
OPTION. In the Prialé passage, where they sell at wholesale prices, we found the dozen gladioli were cheaper, at 20 and 2 soles per dozen. The roses also cost 20 soles a dozen. While the package of 26 units costs 35 soles. The packages of astromelias and carnations reached 10 and 7 soles respectively.
You enter this passage through the Piura and Cajamarca streets, they have 10 stalls, said merchant Teófila Velásquez, who said they will be open until 9 at night.
Despite the high costs, the flower selling businesses had a large number of customers, since today and tomorrow are the days when the living crowd the cemeteries to remember their loved ones. Yesterday afternoon, several stalls were empty waiting for more merchandise. They fear that the prices at the stalls around the cemeteries will cost much more.
In the central region of the country it is customary to prepare the allowance for the deceased. So much so that families who wish to bring the traditional pumpkin mazamorras, today between Jirón Grau and Lorente, will sell a variety of desserts and typical dishes. In the markets there is also high demand for the tanta wawas, which are sweet breads made in an artisanal oven and which is a tradition to enjoy at this time of year. The cost is 1.50 soles and 2 soles per unit but if you buy 3 they cost 5 soles.
AS ALWAYS Florists take advantage of the moment to increase their prices, harming thousands
Due to high cost, some people bought little
Flower prices soar in markets
Dozens of gladioli and roses cost up to 30 soles due to the high demand for the All Saints’ festival, where the deceased are visited in the 800 cemeteries in the Junín region.
