Mr. Aidoo indicated that the market began to stabilize in July 2023 due to an increased supply of maize and an increase in several seasonal kenkey sellers.
“The market started stabilizing in July, due in part to increased supply of maize and an increased number of seasonal kenkey sellers, according to one experienced seller. The selling price and value for money have remained stable since then, even turning around slightly.”
