Countryside people desist from buying cooking gas

Yemen Times Staff

Current date: Tuesday August 16, 2005
The government’s recent move of raising prices of cooking gas has led the people in the countryside to resort to using wood for baking bread in their clay oven. The people there have decided to go back in taking care of planting trees as a source of charcoal used in cooking food and making tea.

Local sources have told the Yemen Times that the new tendency has been very necessary to dispense with gas-heated ovens especially the rise in prices of cooking gas from 200 riyals to 400 riyals and in some areas the gas cylinder price could reach at 70 riyals. A citizen from countryside areas says the people there stopped buying gas household cylinders because they do not afford it after the price dose recently put into force in the country.

Clay ovens for baking bread have now seen a big boom in the market as the people in the countryside have stopped buying gas for their daily uses because gas cylinders prices jumped by 100 percent in addition to the rise in prices of other oil products.

An owner of a shop in Ibb selling clay ovens used for baking bread said he was nowadays selling two to three ovens a day while before the new rise in prices of oil products he was not selling that number in a week. Information coming from some small towns mentions that residents of those towns rushed to buy those ovens because of their affordable low prices.
