The prices of several commodities, particularly food items, are likely to go up from June this year, a survey conducted by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has revealed.
CBK, in its Agriculture Sector Survey published on Tuesday, June 17, disclosed that most respondents expect the prices of key cereal products and select vegetables to increase significantly from June.
Similarly, most respondents expect the prices of sugar and cooking oil to soar this month, mainly because of the ongoing developments in the global markets where the prices of these products have risen. "Balance of opinion (BOO) on expected price changes shows prices of key cereal products and select vegetables are expected to increase in June 2025 reflecting seasonal factors," the survey report read in part.
