Citizens and traders in Rummamer County have welcomed the commissioner’s decision to reduce the price of sorghum, saying it will enable the low income people to secure food for their families and stop migration to Sudan. Traders, according to the Abyei today newsletter, believe authorities should play a role in executing the decision because it is too early for sorghum prices rise. The commissioner Malual Monyluak says a gallon of sorghum should be sold by famers for 40ssp and traders sell it out in the market for 45ssp to curb the current rise of prices. Before the decision was made, a gallon of sorghum was sold at 90-100ssp in Agok and 120ssp in Abyei town. The order doesn’t include Abyei town but people and traders expect it will influence prices there. Malual said sorghum for family consumption would be allowed by permission. He instructed his media team to disseminate the orders everywhere in the county using loud speakers on the vehicles. Community police commander Dabaang Daak, who is in charge of monitoring the implementation, has urged the public to comply with the orders for general interest.
