In 45 days, went up almost 80% basic basket products (hope it has some meaning in english)!

It is related to the increment in the price of maize and obviously tortilla. Tortilla kilo went up till 2 pesos (10 pence) in a week; they are selling one kilo by 10 pesos (50 pence). By the way, even if your are thinking that 50 pence is ridiculous, just let me remind you that most Mexicans gain no more than £3 per day! In Mexico tortilla is the bread of everyday, we eat also bolillo, though (which nowadays is very expensive and it is made of wheat), but certainly and mainly, tortilla and all maize derivatives, e.g.:

• Sopes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sope)
