The state wholesaler has set price controls on eggs, potatoes and onions ahead of the Islamic month of Ramadan.
Potato and onion sacks are sold at MVR250 while the price of an egg case is set at MVR270.
Speaking to local media, State Trading Organization (STO) official Fathimath Aashan said a kilo of onions and potatoes will be sold at MVR12, and an egg will be sold for MVR1.50.
THe STO sells staples at reduced prices for Ramadan, as prices tend to double or in some cases triple.
The first day of Ramdan falls on June 18.
STO has also started rationing potatoes, onions and eggs. Each individual can only purchase one egg case at a time and a maximum of three kilograms of onions and potatoes.
