‘Ga Kenkey’ is selling at $49.00 ( that’s GHC268 for 10 pieces) and 1 piece is selling at $2.99 (about GHC15). This is how the local foods are selling on Amazon.
When you get to town, the prices of Kenkey ranges from 1 Cedi to 3 Cedis. In the town in Volta where I stay, we still get Kenkey at GHC0.50 pesewas.
So it appears the prices on Amazon are very high. But the we can say may be the cost of delivering the food is what has shot the price up that much.
