A Coca-Cola representative stated, "Due to external factors such as inflation, the prices of raw materials including PET, aluminum, and raw sugar have risen, leading to an increase in convenience store retail prices," adding, "We have made efforts to minimize the number of items subject to price adjustments and the rate of increase."
