The General Agriculture Workers Union (GAWU), is predicting food prices will continue to surge in the coming months despite government’s policy intervention.
This follows the increase in inflation for the month of September 2024 to 21.5 percent from 20.4 percent recorded in the month of August 2024.
The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) attributed the increase to a rise in food inflation.
Reacting to the development, a former General Secretary, and a member of GAWU, Edward Kareweh said consumers should prepare for more price hikes in foodstuff due to the current challenges facing farmers.
He pointed out for example that the impact of illegal mining (galamsey) and the dry spell will push will be major factors, pushing food inflation up in the coming days.
