shortages and now a feature of many parts of the economy including petrol pumps. lerman as it is suffering a lot because of the lack of fuel from early morning we get up and stand in the queues for bread students have even left schools to stand in the lines for food few gas and transport. there's no bread few and we humiliated by not being allowed to use their own money all of the a.t.m. . years of conflict have ruined the country's economy half the population lives below the poverty line according to the u.n. millions or risk from hunger. that malaysia will in a. country has witnessed with the shortages of supplies and high prices as a scene that reflects the miserable economic situation has been inherited from the era of destruction. on wednesday the government promised to continue

subsidizing bread that may mean the prices won't get much higher but it won't mean the lines get any shorter. while people in sudan are lucky to find affordable bread more and more kenyans have the luxury to be more discerning in the capital nairobi demand for organic food is rising as more people become aware of the environmental and health benefits and more and more growers of organic produce see an opportunity as was evident at the world's largest organic trade fair which opened in nuremberg germany on wednesday with representatives from more than $100.00 countries including parts of africa kenya is among the turnover from organic products there rose nearly 10 percent to almost $12000000000.00 euros last year and the us middle class is growing so more people can afford to spend more on what they eat. let's

bring in our correspondent joy to remember our from nairobi joy how important is organic food really for the average kenyan. gary has the importance of the goetic food is highly dependent on the awareness of the consumer so there are consumers who are fully aware of the benefits of gannett fluid and then the those who would simply eat whatever comes to be a tivo and india those who generally have no idea what it is all about but. those who do consume a gallon food are aware that it is a lifestyle choice and that they have to pay the price for it has been a star of choice is this just a fad in big cities or is it a real important part of the food market across the country yet he's an important part of the food market in kenya because what we are seeing in the reports that are published by the kenya organic food network in the country is that

80 percent of food served in nairobi at the capital city of kenya is organic food well this cannot be certified they are also reports that see some pains to sell organic food as healthy have a t. 30 percent more annual growth in kenya compared to the global 25 percent so these could actually tell us that well it could be a fad that some people have definitely flown for it well fat or not the figures seem quite convincing is selling pricey organic food then a good business proposition for farmers. it definitely easer good purpose asian families 'd because what we're seeing todays that organic food in kenya costs between 20 to 50 percent more than the conventional food and this means that some

farmers could actually save is selling organic food and satisfied or satisfied one cannot tell but this is what quite well for them those who sell conventional food have to actually lot of the of prices because in the event that they do say it is authentic food in the later the consumers find not getting food these likely going to be complaints to the relevant authorities so what we have seen is that pricea selling has got as specific niche market for the organic foods in the country thought remember i thank you very much. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world british oil giant b.p. says it will make drastic cuts on carbon emissions by 2050 as part of the biggest overhaul in the company's history new chief executive bernard looney says the
