Inflation in food items dipped marginally from 10.35 per cent in the previous week. It was 13.45 per cent in the same period last year and had crossed 20 per cent in December 2009.

On year-on-year basis, potato became cheaper by over 50 per cent, while vegetables overall saw a decline of 14.23 per cent. Onion prices fell by 7.29 per cent, official data released today showed.
