Why Food Prices Are Going Up?

AllAfrica.com - 20 hours ago

Food prices have gone up in different parts of the country compared to
the past few months.

Rwanda's main staple food (Irish potatoes) now goes for between Rwf200
and Rwf250 a kilogramme in most markets of the City of Kigali; Huye,
Nyamata and Muhanga districts, up from Rwf150 over the past three
months.

Irish potatoes are, however, up marginally at Rwf160 in Gakenke,
Kinigi, Vunga, Byangabo and Cyanika markets.

Emmanuel Irambona, a produce supplier in Nyabugogo market, attributed
the increase to poor Irish potatoes yields last season, saying farmers
used bad seeds.

Other traders attributed the rise to bad weather that affected crop production.

Fresh peas cost about Rwf1,300 a kilo in Kimironko, Remera and
Nyarugenge markets, from Rwf800, while beans are at Rwf700 a kilo
gramme from Rwf600. A kilo of cassava flour costs Rwf500 and sweet
potatoes cost Rwf250. A kilo of carrots is at Rwf500 in Remera,
Nyabugogo and Kabuye markets, same as that of tomatoes.

Passion fruits cost Rwf800 a kilogramme, down from Rwf1,000 last week,
while bananas go for Rwf1,000 a kilo from Rwf500 a few weeks ago. A
kilo of mangoes costs Rwf1,300 and pineapples go for between Rwf500
and Rwf1,000, depending on size. Beef costs Rwf2,000 a kilo, up from
Rwf1,800 a fortnight ago.

A kilo of fresh fish is at Rwf3,000 from Rwf2,400 last week, while a
tray of eggs costs Rwf2,500 in Remera, Gikondo and Kicukiro markets.
