Heavy rain in the country has affected farmers and fishermen around the country which forced the prices of produces at the markets to increase dramatically.

And this is also the same in the Western province.

Reports said due to the bad weather rural market vendors and the main suppliers of Gizo market from Vella La Vella, Rannogah, Simbo and Kolombangara were unable to supply the markets with fresh vegetables.

Even the reef fish are scarce in supply due to the bad feather, a Gizo residence told the Solomon Star yesterday.

The price has doubled for these  produces.

This had badly affected the residences in Gizo who are relying on the market to buy local food.

Schools were also affected with some boarding schools yet to resume their formal classes this week.
