Ouragahio: High fish prices persist, with a carton of mackerel still selling for 30,000 CFA francs, worrying households

In Ouragahio, in the Gôh region, a carton of mackerel is still selling for 30,000 CFA francs at the municipal market, despite government measures to tackle the high cost of living. Apolo, mackerel and Chacha are each priced at 2,000 CFA francs per kilogram. The prices are a particular concern for lower-income households, which are cutting back on fish purchases or looking for cheaper alternatives. The situation raises questions about how effectively measures against high living costs are being implemented in towns outside the main urban centers.
