Benin: Corn, Rice, and Tomatoes Cheaper in Markets in August 2026

In August 2026, the price of corn dropped to 138 F CFA per kilogram, a decrease of 7% from July and 25% year-on-year. Local rice sold for 485 F CFA, down 1% month-on-month, while tomatoes saw a 22% decrease to 494 F CFA. These declines are attributed to good stock availability and limited external demand, although some products like yam have seen price increases.
