This is an initiative of the African Development Bank's Statistics and the European Comission's Joint Research Center, in partnership with Knoema. Its main objective is to collect weekly price data on various agricultural products, including cereals, meat, fish, vegetables, oils, fruits, dairy products and other food items in Africa, using modern technologies and crowd sourcing techniques. The data so collected has been compiled into a comprehensive and up-to-date commodity price dataset which can be accessed free of charge on this site.
