(Business in Cameroon) - During March-May 2018, the price of cereals increased by 38% in the Far-North. This was revealed in a press statement by Henri Eyébé Ayissi on May 29, 2018, in Yaoundé.

This increase is alarming, to say the least as cereals are the staple foods in the region.

In addition, with the influx of refugees and the drop in the production, the threat of starvation is rising and should move further in the coming three months in Diamaré (Far-North), Mayo Rey ( at the border with Chad and Central Africa) and Bénoué ( North).
