Kwesi Pratt Jnr at his age shd know that rice is not a staple food of Ghana, for him to be using it as a yardstick. There are other commodities like Milk, Milo,Fish,USA Tombrown etc which have gone up.

There something that should be highlighted and that is the Ghanaian business person is a very wicked person. They always used the depreciating cedi to increase prices but have not seen the need to adjust prices in line with the current exchange rate. They're still selling at the prices they sold when the dollar was GHS15.00

Consult your grandfather or grandmother they will tell you rice is not a staple food of Ghanaians .1983 famine made rice popular. Fufu,Banku,Akple,Tuo Zaafi,Ampesi,Kokonte etc are our staple foods.

That 10 Billion USA Dollars President Mahama used to support the depreciation of the Ghana Cedi, could have been used to boost our export drive.That would have had a more natural effect on our Cedi.What he is doing is artificial and Ghanaians are not benefiting. Rice is not the food Ghanaians eat, the prices of others are still very high.Even Waakye a common diet of the poor us still very expensive, you need GHC60 to get a quality one.

Ghana rice is expensive. Water and electricity are 5-10 times what a Chinese or Thailand producer pay. Shipping rice from Thailand is cheaper than shipping it from Volta region to Accra

No prices have been increased. Prices have rather been reduced or at worse have remained stable. Unlike last year. A typical NPP supporter already wants to buy at a higher cost just to score political points. In fact they want fuel prices to be increased, they want transport fares to be increased, they want workers to go on strike, they want the cedi to depreciate just because of that dancing fool Bawumia. What do you expect them to say. Sisi fiaaa fools. Desperate rogues

The Ghanaweb editor must go through the story again and do a better right up to address the inconsistencies. Because they don't make reasonable readings.
