Postponed date unequal

On the same day, Unilever issued a statement saying that according to the requirements of the national development and Reform Commission, the company has decided to postpone the price adjustment originally scheduled for April 1st.

A number of supermarkets in Beijing have received notice of price increase. The price of Unilever, HAZELINE, POND'S and gold textile softeners will rise from April 1st to 6%-15%. Procter and gamble, Li Bai, and some of its products will also raise prices.

This reporter has learned that a large supermarket in Beijing has received confirmation letter from some Unilever products, and the time limit for raising the price of Unilever's lower force is postponed to April 10th. At the same time, the price of washing powder and laundry soap will be postponed until April 5th and 6.

P & G China still declined to comment on price increases. Supermarkets in Beijing say that the price increase of Procter & Gamble shampoo and Bi Lang non phosphorus detergent has also been delayed.

"Adequate inventory will not raise prices".

The reporter understands, at present, the time has been received from manufacturers to postpone the confirmation letter, and it is still a supermarket. Some supermarkets will postpone the price itself, but some supermarkets have to go up and sell because of the rising price of imported goods.

Reporters learned that in addition to salt is a commodity priced by the government, other commodities have a certain price initiative in supermarkets. Supermarkets will also ask manufacturers to provide "evidence" for the increase in prices of goods, and then adjust the price according to the company's own pricing system. However, there is competition among supermarkets, Fu Yu told reporters: "in the case of competitors do not increase prices of goods, Wumart will not easily rise in price."

"The price of imported products has gone up, so some of the daily chemicals will still go up today," said the head of the htang supermarket. But Procter & Gamble's laundry soap will certainly not raise its price in April 1st. Its price increase has been announced two days ago, and the program is still in the process of confirmation. Carrefour China said it had not received any other new notices from the above suppliers.
