AFRI SOKO INSIGHT

When Fuel Prices Rise…
Food Prices Follow

🇷🇼 Rwanda is seeing a clear ripple effect 🇷🇼

Fuel prices increased → transport costs doubled → food prices rising across markets.

What We're Seeing
on the Ground

🥭

Mangoes
Significantly higher

🍊

Oranges
Significantly higher

🍉

Watermelons
Significantly higher

Transport costs for traders have doubled
Staples like rice, maize flour, and cooking oil are rising
Even cooking gas is becoming more expensive

The Deeper Story

This is not just a Rwanda issue.
It's a regional supply chain reality.

Most of our food moves across borders. When fuel goes up, the cost of moving food becomes the real problem.

What This Means
for Africa

We cannot just focus on production.

We must fix distribution, logistics, and market access.

Because the real gap is not food.
It's connection.

📌 At Afri Soko Connect, this is exactly what we are solving—

building stronger links between farmers, markets, and buyers.
