Cotton prices have increased by up to 40 percent due to heavy rains
In the United Kingdom (UK) there is a severe shortage of underwear before Christmas. The situation is that due to lack of stock, shopkeepers are selling the goods at three to four times higher price. Underwear available for Rs 100 now costs around Rs 400. This inflation is directly affecting the pockets of the people, although under compulsion people are buying them at expensive prices.
The biggest reason for the increase in inflation in Britain is bad weather. Due to which the cotton crop has suffered heavy losses this time. Due to this there has been a shortage of cotton in the market and its prices have broken the record of last 10 years. Now the price of cotton has increased 40 times. Apart from this, the transportation cost due to corona is 900 times more. Its impact is being felt in many parts of the UK. Due to lack of supply according to the demand, the prices are increasing.
According to the Daily Star report, an underwear retailer said that the shortage of clothing during the festive season is a matter of concern. Customers have to go back. We are forced to sell the stock at a very high price as we have now. However, it is not the only region in the UK that has been affected. Many other sectors are also passing through bad times. Mark Green, head of Britain’s famous pajama company Happy Linen, says that the country is also facing a food shortage. But at the same time he expressed hope that soon everything will be fine.
