During the month of June 2020, the commercial dynamics which started during last month continued. Indeed, thanks to the easing of measures taken by States to fight the coronavirus pandemic, markets have been better supplied.

For rice: The trend has been towards price stability in the markets of Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo and Benin. Only Niger recorded slight price increases on its markets;

For sorghum: In the markets of Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina, Ghana, Togo and Benin, the trend has been for price stability. Here too, as in the rice and maize markets, only Niger recorded slight price increases;
