उत्तर
The price elasticity of demand is highly inelastic.
Reasons:
- Absolute Necessity: It is an essential food item with no close substitutes, so even if costs rise, customers will continue to consume it.
- Tiny Budget Share: It consumes a small percentage of a household's total income, so price fluctuations are virtually unnoticed.
