Price controls policy from the state has led to higher spending by consumers and sharply rising prices for goods that weren't subject to price controls. The result was a big increase in demand for price-controlled goods. The state is accusing food producers, wholesalers and grocers of profiteering, threatening to seize control of supermarkets if they did not make more food available; and has instituted rationing. Predictably, "a black market developed among street vendors."
