What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On October 9, 2026, major markets in Gulu City reported a sharp drop in sales of live poultry and basic food commodities during the Independence Day holiday. This low customer turnout was attributed to rising living costs forcing local families to cut back on festive spending. Grace Akello, a poultry trader in Olayo-ilong market, noted a major drop in commercial interest from local hotels, restaurants, and event caterers.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

High poultry feed and transport costs have pushed the price of a full-grown local chicken between sh35,000 and sh50,000. This high pricing, combined with reduced disposable income among households, has resulted in low customer turnout and unsold inventory for traders in Gulu City.
