Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The demand for beef and fish drastically increased during the festive season, The New Times\u2019 mini-survey found out.<\/p>\n

The price of beef increased from Rwf3,500 to over Rwf4,000 per kilo while that of fish hit between Rwf4,300 and RwfRwf5,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the first festive season that people enjoyed after recovery from Covid-19. Therefore, people were eager to celebrate the festive season,\u201d Gerard Mugire, one of the workers at Nyabugogo modern Abattoir, told The New Times.<\/p>\n

He said that the number of cows they bought, per day, increased from 150 to more than 500 cows, since December 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demand has drastically increased and traders increased meat prices. Some butchers are hiking meat prices although the wholesale price is Rwf3,200,\u201d Mugire said.<\/p>\n

He said the Rwanda Inspectorate, Competition, and Consumer Protection Authority (RICA) need to look into how to regulate prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no reason for increasing beef prices.”<\/p>\n

The demand for fish also increased.<\/p>\n

Cynthia Umutesi, a cashier at Fine Fish Ltd, a wholesale fish company in Kimironko market, said they were previously selling between 800 kilos and one tonne of Tilapia fish per day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sales have increased to three tonnes of Tilapia per day during the festive season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Some other prices also increased on the market.<\/p>\n

One Kilogramme of peas increased to between Rwf2,500 and Rwf3,000, from Rwf1,500.<\/p>\n

The New Times learnt, from consumers in Kigali, that beverages such as Heineken, soft drinks, Primus, Mutzig, Turbo King, and Legend drastically increased two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cA beer crate of Primus is being purchased from distributors between Rwf10,000 and Rwf10,500 while that of Mutzig goes for Rwf13,000 before retail,\u201d Beatrice Uwiragiye, a vendor in Kimironko sector, Nyagatovu cell, confirmed.<\/p>\n

A crate of Heineken goes for Rwf19,900 from distributors, Turbo King crate goes for 15,000 while that of Legend goes for Rwf18,100, according to a bar manager near Amahoro stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe price of one beer crate for most of the beverages was increased by at least Rwf1, 000,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Food and non-alcoholic beverages had increased by 39.7 per cent in October 2022 compared to the same month of 2021, according to Rwanda\u2019s Consumer Price Index (CPI) released on November 10.<\/p>\n

Food and non-alcoholic beverages prices in urban areas increased by 29.2 per cent during the month of August compared to the same period in 2021.<\/p>\n
