Traders should stick to new sugar prices

This week, in a move to protect consumers, the Government came out strongly to criticize traders who had set sugar prices at Rwf 1,200 from Rwf 800 per kilo within two months. The Ministry of Trade Commerce and Industry, had earlier cautioned the traders against hiking the prices after it had waived certain tariffs to encourage the importation of sugar since the local manufacturer, Kabuye Sugar Works, was not producing enough for the market.
