    Les prix des légumes ont connue une hausse vertigineuse depuis le début de l' année suite à l' abandon des champs par les paysans craignant pour leur sécurité dans cette région de l' Est de la RD Congo où des groupes armés font régner la terreur.

    ‘Nous vendons à perte les clients n'achètent plus à cause de la hausse des prix, je suis incapable de payer les frais scolaires de mes enfants, c'est vraiment dur’, fait savoir une vendeuse.

    ‘Les prix ont doublé, un choux qu'on achetait à 100 francs congolais s'achète aujourd'hui à 200 francs. On ne sait plus s'approvisionner en légumes’, ajoute une cliente rencontrée au marché.

    Le rétablissement de l'autorité de l'Etat serait la solution à ce problème afin que les paysans qui ont fui leurs villages puissent regagner leurs champs et intensifier la production.
