Survey finds Bukavu prices relatively stable

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, a market survey in the Bukavu area has revealed that prices were relatively stable between November and February, the FAO report said. A slight increase in the price of meat and other basic food items was reported starting in mid-January. However, the price of recently-harvested beans and nuts went down by about 50 percent in December. The price of palm oil has frequently fluctuated in the city because of insecurity in key production areas, such as Walikale, Mwenga and Fizi, it said.
