‘’I enquire the price of Indomie from company and the price of the carton we sell at 2700 naira is now 3100 naira but I still maintain my old stuck price not because I am stupid but as a trained business woman I have expected a hike in the price of product, so I use to stuck my goods very well before new year, because production is not expected to kick off immediately after Christmas and new year celebration so during this short time before production kick off I keep my market price at it normal pace so as to maintain my customers and also gain the trust of potential customers, Mrs Ann said.
