There is usually a body responsible for price control and another body responsible to shield the consumer right, the problem is that these bodies are not as effective as they should be in this part of the world, we have greedy producers and sellers who will rather sell slow at higher prices to make profit then to have a good price for the consumer and make good profit from turnovers. It is painful how these people either dont understand the consequences of their acts or they just dont care as long as they will make good of themselves.
