In Douala’s Darkar market, rising inflation is making once-affordable meals increasingly inaccessible to many. Stalls that once offered diverse foodstuffs are now seeing fewer customers, as the cost of basic ingredients soars. This economic strain is affecting daily life, particularly for low-income families.
At the Darkar market in Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon, stalls and heaps of diverse foodstuffs that once made humble meals accessible to many are now becoming elitist. The escalating inflation has led to a surge in food prices, making basic meals unaffordable for a significant portion of the population. This situation has sparked concerns about food security and the widening gap between the rich and the poor.
