Congo: Prices of essential goods have increased

The population of the Oceanic city is at a loss with the rising prices of food on the markets.

In the markets of Pointe-Noire, the prices of essential products continue to rise. A situation that worries the population of this city.

“Most food items are expensive. Grocery shopping has become a real headache. For large families, life becomes unbearable. In the past, we used to shop with 2000 CFA francs but currently, it is almost impossible. You need to have 5000 or 10000 CFA francs to claim to eat your fill”, expressed a consumer to our colleagues at vox.cg.

For the president of the Association for the Defense of Consumer Rights in Congo, Jean Claude Mabiala, the government should find solutions to relieve households. He proposes that the government implement the resilience plan.
