Compare markets to see where it costs more; compare years to see how prices moved. Seasonal swings around the harvest are normal.
Unit: MZN per kg.
What does the data say?
The latest observation is from Jul 2013; the source has not published anything newer.
Why does it matter?
- Households: Staple prices determine how far a household's income goes.
- Businesses: Traders' margins and input costs.
- Government: Food security monitoring.
- Investors: Inflation and consumer demand.
- Mobile money: Higher food prices may reduce money left for other transactions; higher nominal transaction values do not necessarily mean higher real spending.
Observed facts are above; these are possible implications, not measured effects.
