Food Prices in October


All other things being equal, food prices will remain largely stable in October, especially in most parts of the market in the south however with some exceptions, according to ESOKO Ghana. This is due to the continuous harvest season the southern markets are experiencing.


ESOKO also indicated that food supplies from the northern parts of the country will see some increases towards the end of October hence further drops in prices.
Moreover, should the country continue to experience this relatively good rainfall pattern all other things being equal, the harvest season will remain a while longer with great yields.
Consumers can therefore expect to pay an average price of GHC8.00 or less for a price of a commodity like pona (a type of yam).
