In Dakar, it is noted that powdered sugar is becoming increasingly rare in shops. However, very soon will be the month of Ramadan, a period when the use of sugar is increasing. This situation worries consumers.

Powdered sugar is hard to find in the Senegalese capital. Whether at the market, or in the shops, the observation is the same. According to the information, wholesalers keep the prices of the few on the market high. “The price of a 50-kg bag was set at 28,000 CFA francs, however wholesalers continue to sell at more than 30,000 CFA francs” inform the sources. Many consumers think that this scarcity of powdered sugar is a well-designed plan to increase prices recently cut by the Senegalese state.
