Delegation of Trade Organises Easter Promotional Sales

There is a caravan sale of basic commodities at promotional rates to celebrate feast of Easter.

The Regional Delegation of Trade has organised a caravan march and specific sale points were goods are sold at promotional prices. This initiative according to the Regional Delegate of Trade David Tsegui is the fight against the high cost of living and to help Christians to better celebrate the Easter feast which comes up on April 12.
The Regional Delegate has taken the task to get partners who are economic operators with whom he works to sell basic commodities at promotional prices whenever there is a feast to be celebrated in the country.
There are five different places in Douala where promotional sales are taking place and these include; La Salle des Fetes, the Regional Delegation of Trade, Carrefour Service Social New Bell, and Carrefour Ndokoti Carrefour Montaigne Manga Bell in Bali. There is also a caravan march which will move from Market to Markets. The caravan has already been to some markets like PK 14, PK 10, Madagascar, Elf Axe Lourd and is still to visit Grand Hangar, Mabanda, Bonamoussadi and Bepanda Tonnerre.
So far the public is reacting positively because this time the prices at which the commodities are sold are more reduced than it was in the past caravan marches. The population is very active and is rushing to buy. At Salle the Fete, a packet of sugar is sold at FCFA 600, 10 kilograms of rice sold at FCFA 4200, one Kilogram of Nestle concentrated milk is sold at FCFA 1500, five litres of vegetable oil sold at FCFA 425, there is also plantain which a big bunch is sold at FCFA 1000, cocoyams, potatoes all sold at very reduced rates.
