ECOWAS space aims to regulate its food market of "nearly 5.597 billion FCFA" hindered by hassles

ECOWAS is looking to regulate its food market, valued at nearly 5.597 billion FCFA, while 85% of exchanges occur in the informal sector. Barriers to the circulation of food products, such as road hassles and non-tariff barriers, exacerbate food insecurity in the region. Despite an increase in agricultural production, accessibility remains limited due to ineffective trade corridors.
