Traders at Mallam Atta market lament high prices of ‘provisions’

Prices of provisions such as Milo, milk, sugar, rice, and oil have soared, some doubling, at the Mallam Atta market.

Osei Boamah highlighted that chocolate prices have increased from GHC15 to GHC25 in a month, affecting sales.

Gifty Sarpomaa reported daily price hikes of 50-100%.
