Rice, meat, oil… What the prices of essential products in Senegal really say

Senegal's annual inflation rate is 0.4% according to ANSD, but prices of essential goods vary widely. Locally produced broken rice remains stable in Dakar (363 to 374 FCFA/kg between May and June) and unchanged in Diourbel and Kaolack, while meat sees significant increases. This stability of rice, a staple food, helps contain the overall food basket cost despite pressures on other products.
