The prices of several staple goods at the Resik Jatinangor Market in Sumedang Regency have begun to return to normal after previously experiencing increases around the turn of the new year 2026.

A decline in prices has been felt in recent days, especially for chili commodities. This condition is in line with the return of stable supply from farmers.

“Prices started to drop after the new year. Now buyers have also started to get busy again,” it was stated.

It was detailed that the price of red chilies, which had previously reached Rp80 thousand per kilogram, has now fallen to Rp40 thousand per kilogram. Meanwhile, red bird’s eye chilies, which were initially sold for Rp60 thousand per kilogram, are now around Rp40 thousand per kilogram.

“Lamb’s horn chilies have experienced a quite significant decrease, from a price of Rp100 thousand per kilogram to Rp50 thousand per kilogram,” it was added.

Price fluctuations for staple goods around the new year are common. Usually, prices will rise again when entering the ‘munggahan’ moment or approaching the holy month of Ramadan, in line with increasing public demand.

“When it gets close to fasting month, usually prices go up again,” it was concluded.
