Traders at the Tudu market in Accra on Friday expressed worry about the rate at which prices of goods keep rising as a result of the fuel price increment across the country. The Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interaction with some traders during a survey it conducted at the Tudu market observed that the increases in prices had affected almost all commodities. Madam Amina Donkor, a trader, who deals in flour and sugar said � the price of half a bag of flour that used to sells at Ghc40 is now selling at Ghc45 and a bag of sugar from Ghc80 to Ghc82�. Madam Adjoa Mensah a drink seller could not hide her grievance when she told the GNA about the plight of traders in the market center. She reencountered that a crate of soft minerals that was being sold at Ghc12 is now selling between Ghc16 and Ghc18. Mr Francis Appiah a jeans seller in an interaction with GNA said �retailers have increased the price of goods because of the high cost of transportation charges�. Madam Elizabeth Mensah an underwear trader said �I buy a pack of pants for Ghc204 but just this week the price shot up to Ghc300 as a result of the fuel hike and it�s too much for us.�
