The Thailand Consumers Council (TCC) is calling on the government to ensure transparency as it mulls a request by five instant noodle brands to increase the product price by 2 baht per packet, or up to 30%.
The move should be supported by data as to why it is necessary now, or else the price rise will simply add up to more profits for the firms, the country's five largest instant noodle brands, said Saree Aungsomwang, secretary-general of the TCC.
