Taiwan Economic Research Institute previously announced the economic trend survey, indicating that due to the high prices in the second half of the year, the pressure of price increases is much higher than in the first half of the year. As of the first day of July, well-known yogurt ice cream shop 'Xue Fang,' Taichung's top ten souvenir egg roll shop 'Qing Niao Travels,' and the Ma Dou beef noodle soup operator offering 'minced meat + braised eggs eat all you can' in Tainan have all announced price increases, causing dissatisfaction among consumers. Xue Fang cited a nearly 20% increase in electricity expenses due to the government increasing industrial electricity costs as the reason for their price adjustments. Prices for products at Xue Fang have increased by 6 to 8%, including probiotics from NT$2100 to NT$2220, yogurt drinks from NT$100 to NT$105 per can, and Greek yogurt from NT$400 to NT$420. 'Qing Niao Travels,' the egg roll shop in Taichung awarded the 2024 top ten souvenir award, also increased product prices on the 1st, with prices for products like a box of five assorted flavors from NT$200 to NT$220, a box of twelve flavors from NT$350 to NT$380, and a mix of twenty-four flavors from NT$980 to NT$1080. In addition, a beef noodle soup operator in Ma Dou, Tainan, previously offered a system allowing customers to consume beef noodle soup for NT$120 and enjoy minced meat and braised eggs eat all you can, but due to rising raw material costs and the need to install air conditioning in the shop because of the hot weather, they had to raise prices to NT$130 for the all-you-can-eat option alongside the beef noodle soup consumption of NT$120.
