I live in Nakhon Si Thammarat and we have 3 large supermarkets here, but they all seem to have stopped selling sunflower oil!! the only oil is soy bean oil or palm oil. Is this the same over Thailand or only a local problem down south?? could someone explain??

Cheers

Also have the 3 big main Supermarkets on the Bang Yai rd, 40km North/West of BKK, same here but I always buy the soy bean oil anyway, just that it is now some 12baht more expensive

I always shop on Wednesday 2 weeks ago there was NO oil at all in Tesco of any kind, last week in Carrefore NO sunflower oil just a big gap on the shelves.. Will look if I remember tomorrow [bought 1 gallon can soy bean oil last week]

Normally stocks are run out before a price increase takes place. Allows store shelves to empty of any pre printed bottles with the price displayed on the bottle as MRRP for example. Also allows time for the shops to update their shelf edge lables - which they often don't manage to do.

We're now well into March and Tesco Rangsit and Pathum still have no sunflower oil (and no space on the shelves for it).

Anyone got any idea what's going on??
