From the point of view of a visiting cat, Djougou has a moderate economic/shopping situation. Prices are reasonable, but not as cheap as other destinations in the region. The quality of goods and services is average and bargaining is necessary.

Haggling is expected in markets. Try local street food, it's a good value for your paws.
