Moderate price drops and overall market balance signal improving food affordability for consumers across the country
Cereal markets in Niger continue to demonstrate a stable trend, with only minor fluctuations observed during the week of April 8 to April 14, 2026, according to data from the Agricultural Market Information System (SIMA). This stability reflects a sustained balance between supply and demand across monitored markets.
While most staple prices remained largely unchanged, maize recorded a slight weekly decrease of 1%, marking the only notable variation. Despite these marginal shifts, the general market outlook remains calm, extending the steady conditions observed in recent weeks.
On a year-on-year basis, the situation appears significantly favorable for consumers. Prices have dropped sharply across key cereals, with millet down by 29%, sorghum by 34%, maize by 39%, and imported rice by 22%. These declines highlight improved accessibility to essential food commodities, offering some relief amid broader economic pressures.
