December 9, 2016 With Elizabeth A. Kaine
As we move closer to the festive season, Concord Times conducted a market survey to weigh the prices of foodstuffs and determine the level of increase in the prices of foodstuffs, coupled with how consumers are coping due to the current economic crisis in the country.
Concord Times Elizabeth A Kaine conducted a market survey and observed that many traders do cheat on consumers in an effort to maximise profit.
Hawanatu Sesay, a consumer, told this reporter that rice sellers do stuff their measuring cups and that she was disappointed to the extent that she wanted to call the attention of the police.
However, market watch observed that foodstuffs are becoming more expensive on a daily basis, with a relatively low sale.
