SAMAKE BAKARY sells rice from wooden basins at Abobote market in the Northern suburbs of Abidjan in Cote d’lvoire. He points to a bowl of broken Thai rice which, at 400 CFA frncs (roughly $1) perkilogram, is the most popular variety. On a good day he used to sell 150 kilos. Now he is lucky to sell half that . “ People ask the price and go away without buying anything.” He complains.
