STORYLINE:
Some fresh agricultural products are sold at fixed prices since Monday to curb sharp price rises, according to the Tunisian Commerce Ministry.
The ministry imposed price limits on potatoes and onions, with a retail price of 1.4 dinars (0.45 U.S. dollars) per kilogram and 1.2 dinars (0.38 U.S. dollars) respectively.
Rising prices have seriously affected the purchasing power of local people.
The Tunisian government announced on Monday that the inflation rate in August reached 8.6 percent, a new high this year, while the inflation rate for food was 12 percent.
