One vendor, Samuel Molot shared that adding to his insignificant income from selling limes, is the inflated price of boat rent, from K10 to K15, which is a ‘huge loss for families and households’.

The Acting East New Britain Provincial Market Authority (ENBPMA) Manager, Darius Kunai said they have asked the COVID-19 provincial control to open the main markets with strict guidelines.
