Prices of some legumes may go up due to the activities of the rains up in the northern sector of the country.                                                                                                                                                                          Prices of tomatoes continue to be unstable with weekly fluctuations. It is expected that for most parts of the month of October, prices will be high. Farmers have not had a good harvest. The current increases in fuel has not had any effects on prices yet, we will keep monitoring the situation in the coming month to see if it will have any effects on prices of commodities.
