EVALUATION DE L’INFLATION DES PRIX DES PRODUITS VIVRIERS DANS LA COMMUNE DE YOPOUGON (ABIDJAN, CÔTE D’IVOIRE)

Abstract

Food crops channel has been experiencing a general price increase in Côte d’Ivoire, for some years. You can notice this phenomenon on the market of Yopougon, the largest commune of the country. Given the need of reducing people’s suffering and ensuring their well-being, a study financed by Food crops Marketing Assistance Office and whose theme is about the evaluation of food crops price inflation in Yopougon, has been initiated. The comparative method has enabled us to notice that this food crops price inflation is relating on the one hand, to the increase of worldwide fuel price, and on the other hand, to political matters. So, some households have chosen to reduce their number of daily meals, considering that the stack of essential food crops on the different markets has moved up from 25 F to 50 F, or even more. To face up to that worrying situation, the State must reorientate its agricultural policy in general, and that of food crops sector in particular.
