The price of tomato cans rises from 500 FC to 2000 FC in the Kinshasa market

Tomato cans are currently sold for between 1500 and 2000 Congolese francs in the Kinshasa markets, up from 500 FC previously. Consumers are struggling to obtain this essential product due to a seasonal shortage linked to the agricultural calendar. Vendors report low production and high demand, leading to rising prices. There is an urgent need to improve supply to stabilize prices and relieve households.
