More expensive to drink coffee in Johor Bahru now: Many operators blamed the hike on the rising cost of coffee beans, coffee powder and sugar.
straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/more-expensive-to-drink-coffee-in-johor-now
Quick Glance: Price Hike and Challenges in Johor Bahru Cafes
- The price of a standard cup of coffee in Johor Bahru has increased by about 70 percent in the past three years, ranging from RM2.30 to RM2.60 per cup. Popular drinks like Nescafe and Milo now cost between RM3.50 and RM4 each.
- The price hike is attributed to the rising costs of coffee beans, coffee powder, and sugar. Other factors include increasing operational costs and the devaluation of the Ringgit. Difficulty in hiring workers due to locals seeking higher-paying jobs in Singapore is also a significant challenge.
- It is advised to maintain price transparency to avoid customer dissatisfaction. Some cafes are considering 'shrinkflation' to offset costs, while calls for regulatory measures to prevent price markups by middlemen are being made.
- Overall market assessment and consultations with authorities will influence decisions on potential price adjustments for cafes and restaurants post-Hari Raya Aidilfitri in April. Transparency and fair pricing practices are encouraged in the market to ensure customer satisfaction and operational sustainability.
