How government is tackling rising food prices w/ Antoine Kajangwe, Director General- Trade and Investment, MINICOM
Description
Rwanda is just emerging out of its long dry season, and as if often the case during that time, food prices have risen around the country.
What is particularly shocking this year however, is just how high prices of our staple foods have become. Kigali residents are seeing prices of potatoes, beans and rice double or even triple.
The question that I, along with many other people, ask ourselves is, what is going on? Have our farmers simply stopped going out to their fields to farm? Or are we dealing with something much more sinister? A food mafia of sorts!
To help answer these questions, I am joined this week on the Long Form by Antoine Kajangwe, Director General-Trade and Investment at Ministry of Trade and Industry.
