Fes News
As the citizens of Fes and its surrounding regions struggle with a severe cold wave and biting frost, the pockets of the common people have been dealt a new and painful blow. Prices for basic vegetables—once considered “the refuge of the poor”—have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. Most notably, carrots and zucchini (green pumpkins) have reached record highs, depriving hundreds of underprivileged families of the warm, essential meals needed to withstand the freezing temperatures.
Record Numbers Disrupt Family Budgets:
- Carrots and Zucchini: Local markets in Fes (such as Bensouda, Al-Musalla, and Ain Harroun) have recorded staggering price hikes. These staples have jumped to levels never before seen by the local consumer, turning a simple “couscous plate” or “vegetable soup” into a luxury that many can no longer afford.
- Purchasing Power: Residents speaking to “Fes News” expressed deep resentment, emphasizing that the inflation of these basic goods at this specific time (December 2025) is a “fatal blow” to their already fragile purchasing power.
- Cold vs. Hunger: In local culture, these vegetables are winter essentials due to their health benefits and energy-providing properties. However, the “fire of prices” has left the poor trapped between the biting cold and the sting of hunger.
Demands for Intervention and Monitoring:
Voices are rising in the popular neighborhoods of Fes, calling for the urgent intervention of price control committees. There is a pressing need to regulate the markets and crack down on intermediaries and speculators who exploit weather conditions to increase profit margins at the expense of the suffering of the poor.
