With relatively low bargaining power, small local grocers in South Africa have become more exposed to the persisting inflationary pressure since they often source their products from wholesalers. The latter tend to have higher markups in comparison to chained stores, as they obtain their products directly from suppliers and could leverage their economies of scale to offer more affordable options.
