Daloa: Regional Commerce Directorate mobilized to enforce 2,500 CFA franc cut on fish

Authorities and sector representatives met in Daloa on October 23, 2026, under the prefect of Haut-Sassandra to prepare enforcement of the government’s 2,500 CFA franc cut on cartons of frozen horse mackerel and mackerel. The regional director of Trade said the reduction applies immediately to all stocks, including those purchased before the announcement. Inspections will be stepped up at cold-storage facilities and markets, while operators must issue invoices and retailers must request receipts. Unjustified price increases and other violations may lead to administrative sanctions, and a sector audit commission will review margins and propose agreed prices for other fish varieties.
