Reducing the prices of staple food by even a modest 10% (far below the average premium cartels around the world charge) by tackling anticompetitive behavior in these sectors, or by reforming regulations that shield them from competition, could lift 270,000 people in Kenya, 200,000 in South Africa, and 20,000 in Zambia out of poverty.
Une telle politique ferait économiser annuellement aux ménages dans ces pays plus de 700 millions $ (en dollars US de 2015), les ménages les plus démunis en tirent beaucoup plus avantage que les familles nanties.
