CSV files: one price per row, semicolon separator, UTF-8 encoding, with the source and licence of each value.

Method

Retail prices in Burundian francs per kilogram. The national median price for a month is the median of the prices of all markets reported that month; the World Food Programme dates its records on the 15th of the month.

The latest month is provisional (dotted line): the publisher may complete or correct its records the following month.

The publisher assigns each market to the former division (province and commune). The new province is derived from the market's position within the province boundaries.
