Welcome to the Low-How, from Bopinc. Where we share our know-how about low-income markets. 

Consumers around the world struggled with rocketing food prices in 2022, and low-income households have been hit the hardest. Why? Because food makes up a larger part of their household expenditure and because they have fewer resources to fall back on in tough times like these. In this episode, The Low-How hears from consumers and food vendors in Kenya about how food price inflation is affecting them, and talks with Bopinc colleagues about three things that we as Bopinc are doing through our work with food producers across Africa to help ease the pain for low-income consumers.
