For the first time in four years, consumer price inflation has dropped into single digits, marking the continuation of a nine-month downward trend. The year-on-year rate fell to 9.4% in September 2025, down from 11.5% in August.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Wednesday, October 8, Dr. Iddrisu stated that measures were needed to address disparities in food price fluctuations.

Dr. Iddrisu stressed that addressing these structural challenges would help ensure that inflation remains low and stable across different sectors of the economy.

“We should invest in irrigation to smooth out seasons. Support year-round production, and mitigate the impact of rainfall risks for staples like yams, cassava, rice, and vegetables. Because some are seeing very low inflation rates, but there are others which are seeing high inflation rates.

He added, “Food storage has been an issue for some time now, and we have to deal with it. Especially, we have to deal with the cold chains and dry storage; we have to address that. We need to invest in a reliable transport network to connect farmers to markets.”
