Sugar (brown, imported) — retail price per kg

What is this?

The retail price of sugar (brown, imported) observed in local markets.

How to read it

  • 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?

Sugar (brown, imported) — retail price per kg (Mutarara (Tete)) is 75.00 MZN per kg (Nov 2023), 87.5% higher than in Oct 2015. Over the last year: −8.2%.

Over all 24 observations since Oct 2015, the highest was 100.00 (Dec 2020) and the lowest 40.00 (Oct 2015).

The latest observation is from Nov 2023; 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.

What should I watch?
