How these figures are worked out

Retail prices as collected each month: FEWS NET (data: NDMA, Kenya). Sack and tin prices are converted to KES per head. The median is for the newest month most markets have reported, and a price that moved unusually at source is left out of it. A public page is shown only for a series that spans at least five counties and is no more than four months old. Feed last read 2026-10-11.
