Food prices going up and up


THE EDITOR: Talk to me Mr Minister. Food prices have gone up, are going up, will go up again and nobody has anything to say!


Except for one company who plucked up the courage to tell the public what’s going on and why the price of chicken has to increase, it’s only silence.


And in the meantime, every time I go to the supermarket, I either have to spend more or buy less! Is what the company is saying true? If grain has gone up, then all kinda things have to go up including flour and bread.


Then transport and the port costing more money. Plus floods killing local agriculture so we have to rely on imported foods. And then, on top of all that, our dollar just fell against the US dollar and the US dollar falling against everybody elses.


One minute we’re tied to the US dollar, next minute we floating. Except we aren’t floating because it looks more like we sinking. End the silence. Level with your people and tell us what to expect.
