Market prices

Monthly retail prices for farm produce and staples across Somalia’s main market towns, from the World Food Programme price database. Knowing the price before the journey is part of the advisory M-Tacab delivers to farmers — here it is for partners and visitors.

Loading price data…iWFP publishes market prices with a one-to-two-month lag, so the newest month shown is the newest month WFP has released — not a gap on our side. The page refreshes automatically when new data lands.

Local farm produce

What farmers sell — grains, pulses, vegetables and livestock products.

Imported staples

Market context

Input costs and the exchange rate behind every price above.
Data & method: monthly retail prices from the WFP Price Database (World Food Programme, via the Humanitarian Data Exchange), typically published with about a one-month lag. Shown in US dollars with local currency alongside; arrows compare the two most recent months. The Ministry of Agriculture & Irrigation’s market bulletins are the official national reference. Prices vary within a town and by quality — treat these as a guide, not a quote.

Better prices start with better information.

M-Tacab’s market-linkage module puts price signals and buyers within reach of farmers on any phone — in Somali, over USSD, SMS and voice.
