Start saving up because you will be paying more for mooncakes on this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, that is coming around soon.

The prices of the ingredients have increased, causing the cost of the traditional dessert to go up.

However, a few established mooncake stores have decided not to hike up the value, to thank the customers for their past support.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is a month away, retailers are already stocking their shelves with egg yolk, taro, and mung bean pastries.

According to bakeries, the recovering economy has spurred sales, and mooncake sales have increased by 20% from last year.

However, rising raw material prices mean that mooncake ingredient prices have also risen significantly.

Pine nut prices, for example, have more than doubled from 400 NT per catty to 800 NT catty.

Mung bean prices have risen by 15% per catty, while cream prices have risen by 70% per pound.

The prices of 22-kilogram bags of sugar and flour have also increased by 15%.

Some bakery chains and department stores quietly hiked their mooncake prices by 5% to 10% in mid-August,

but a number of well-known mooncake stores say that they will keep their prices the same to reward customers for their support.
