The cost of food, cooking gas and farm inputs is set to rise on proposed changes to the VAT Act, further raising the cost of living for poor households.
Basic commodities set to cost more include maize, cassava and wheat flour, bread, milk and cream without sugar concentrates and other sweeteners, farm pest control products and liquefied petroleum gas.
