Commodity Highlights
The prices of apple bananas and Cavendish Bogoya have increased in Iganga and Soroti markets mainly because of the reduced supply
on the market for this commodity thus leading to the hike in the prices for example in Iganga market the price for apple bananas
increased byshs.200 on wholesale and shs.300 on retail whereas the Cavendish Bogoya increased by shs.300 wholesale and shs.500 on
retail and the traders attributed the price increment to the high demand of the commodities in the market yet the supply is limited. On
the same note as we come close to the festive season most of the commodity prices are seen to take up an upward trend mainly
because of the anticipation by the sellers and buyers of the increase in most market prices.
Dry Beans
The price of Agwede beans in Mbale market increased due to high needs from bulk buyers bringing about high demand in the area
leading to farmers increasing the price as demand increases. Yet in Iganga market, the prices of Yellow beans dropped by shs.150 and
shs.200 on wholesale and retail prices. Traders attribute the decrease to high supply and low demand by consumers as traders had
purchased in plenty in the assembly markets.
Dry Fermented Cassava
Owino market registered an increase of shs 100 and shs 200 on the wholesale and retail prices respectively because of low supply of the
commodity. This was because of the high rainfall that slowed down the drying of the cassava and also the demand of the commodity in
the market was high. The demand was higher than the supply of the commodity in the market and so traders sold at a higher price so
as to gain profits.

respectively. Traders in the market attributed the price decline to the high harvests of farmers in the area. Many farmers supplied high
volumes of cow peas in the market assembly yet there were few buyers in the market.
