Is sugar food ? Why should someone worry about sugar scarcity ? It's been more than 3 years I haven't had sugar in my house because I want to leave a healthy lifestyle. If they only know the damages sugar cause in the body, they will avoid it.

If sugar is not there, its not there.Its not Doctor's prescriptions. People should learn to make sacrifices for the greater good of all instead of complaining

It’s not as bad as you’re reporting, I can understand if this was ongoing lasting for months. It’s a contextual situation, shut your assumptions up

I dont believe that the population is so willing to collapse over sugar this year. I believe they are smarter and grateful and have plenty to think about that is life saving at this time. Im' hoping not to offend. Sugar will be plenty in time. 🙏❤

If true there's a wholesale who doesn't want to sales to the public then his license must be revoked and put him behind bars.

Our president Ib,T will resolve the problem, no need for anybody to panic. Malian government also set its price for sugar, but I think Mali has a sugar processing factory that the government subsidises its operational cost. so it is easier to regulate the price of sugar in Mali.

Excellent video, but to expect the President to resolve and demand and supply issue is very shortsighted. If the economy identifies there's increased demand during particular times of the year, the introduction of more importers of sugar at margin will address the imbalance. If the government wants to go to the Global market to meet their demands at this crucial point through Government purchases, then so be it.

Sugar regular consistent use and it's enormous cascading impact on vital health functionality needs henceforth evaluation. Upon independent research verification , the process of it's manufacturing allegedly requires the removal of Devinely inserted ingredients vital for the body normal functioning and it's use on a regular needs adjustments for continual vital health. We are therefore en mass required to quickly adjust the normative cultural habits quickly and henceforth. Jmo!

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS OUAGADOUGOU – CONSUMERS LEFT SCRAMBLING!
Burkinabè consumers are facing an unexpected crisis—SN SOSUCO sugar is nowhere to be found! Just days before the holy month of fasting for Muslims and Christians, many shoppers are running from store to store, desperately searching for sugar, a key ingredient in traditional fasting meals.
The government had promised that sugar would be available nationwide, but reality tells a different story. Shops in Ouagadougou are running out, traders are frustrated, and prices are skyrocketing!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Traders say they can’t sell at the government-set price of 800 CFA francs because they buy it at nearly the same price, leaving no room for profit.
Some shopkeepers have even been summoned by authorities for selling sugar at 900 CFA francs, despite barely making a profit.
Wholesalers are refusing to stock up, fearing losses and government crackdowns.
A local trader revealed the struggle:
“I’ve been searching all morning for SN SOSUCO sugar—just one packet—and I haven’t found any! It’s Ramadan, and people need sugar, but it’s impossible to get.”
Another shop owner, Baraka Daouda Gnégné, is also feeling the heat:
“We haven’t had SN SOSUCO sugar on the shelves for months, but demand is through the roof. People are desperate!”
Meanwhile, fasting communities are feeling the impact. Catholic Christian Junior Dabiré is worried about how this will affect religious traditions:
“Sugar is crucial during Lent and Ramadan. Without it, even traditional drinks like zoom-koom lose their taste. The authorities need to act fast!”
WHO’S TO BLAME? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?
Is this poor price regulation? Supply chain failure? Or greedy wholesalers withholding stock? One thing is clear—consumers are suffering, and the government must act fast to stabilize the situation before the crisis worsens!
What do you think? Should the government adjust the sugar price or take stronger action against wholesalers? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
