The wholesale price of non-staple food in Ningbo dropped to below the national average in October, according to data released by the Municipal Trade Bureau.
The wholesale price of pork, aquatic products, vegetables and soy products last month were 19.44 yuan, 25.44 yuan, 1.95 yuan and 1.33 yuan per kilogram, respectively, down 0.8 percent, 1.1 percent, 8.9 percent and 0.5 percent over September.
