Rice in Cameroon: High price, low production!

Submitted by Tamara Palamakumbura on 15 January, 2009 - 12:28

2009 has witnessed an increase in the price of paddy rice in Ngoketunjia Division (North West Region of Cameroon) as compared to 2008. A bag of 100 kg paddy rice in 2008 was sold at 10,000 frs CFA, early this year 2009 a bag of 100kg is selling at 15 to 18,000 frs CFA.
