Esoko Limited has released its Market Price Index, which has shown a consistent rise in prices of essential commodities in Ghana since January 2024. The report highlights significant fluctuations in key staples like maize, tomatoes, and yam. Maize prices have seen a 22% increase since May, tomato prices have risen by 18% due to high demand and low supply, and yam prices have increased by 15% due to high transportation costs and increased demand. These price hikes are attributed to factors such as high input costs, increased transportation costs, lean season impacts, rising demand, low supply, and high post-harvest losses.
