Tomato, banana prices up in Kigali

Do you love tomato soup? You might also like the vegetable as salad. Well, you will have to dig deeper into your pockets to enjoy that tomato soup or salads after the wholesale price of tomatoes rose by Rwf2,000 to Rwf8,000 per basin in various city markets, from Rwf6,000 a week ago. They go for Rwf800 a kilo, from Rwf500 previously. Most Rwandan homes and restaurants use tomatoes as soup or source, so the increase is not good news for many people.
