The price of vegetables decreased 11.6 percent month-on-month and were up 12.1 percent year-on-year. The price of edible oil was up 11.7 percent month-on-month and 61.7 percent higher year-on-year.

The price of steel products rose 5.9 percent month-on-month and 35.7 percent up year-on-year. China's CPI, a key measure of inflation, was up 8.3 percent year on year in March, following an 8.7 percent rise the previous month. The Chinese CGP index is based on 791 types of goods prices and covers wholesale prices in the country's 36 big- and medium-sized cities and more than 200 small cities.
