Soaring prices of basic necessities during Lent: the populations of Parakou in difficulty

Views : 7

Parakou, a city in northern Benin, is experiencing a spike in the prices of basic necessities during the Lenten period. Markets are particularly affected, especially the Guema market, where prices are very high. Sellers struggle to sell their products for lack of customers, who themselves cannot afford to buy at such high prices.

Buyers and resellers of basic necessities are calling on the competent authorities for help in finding a solution to this situation. Some are asking for prices to be harmonized, in accordance with the provisions made by the Ministry of Industry and Trade to regulate the prices of basic necessities in Benin.

Lent is a time of fasting and deprivation for Christians, of whom there are many in the city of Parakou. However, the prices of basic necessities such as rice, oil, vegetables and fruits are exorbitant. The poor populations of the city struggle to find enough to eat, even for their children. Measures must be taken by the competent authorities to ease the pain of the populations of Parakou. Interventions in the field are necessary to enforce regulated prices and avoid abuses by certain sellers. The population hopes for a quick solution to this difficult situation.
