What does this dataset contain?
Monthly market prices for food and essential commodities in Syria from the World Food Programme (2011 onward). The published value is the median of a governorate's market prices for the month, in SYP and USD as separate series.
Transformation and methodology
Market prices collected monthly by the World Food Programme from market monitors since 2011. Sanad publishes, per governorate, the median of that governorate's market prices for the month — not a single market and not below the governorate. SYP and USD are separate series (USD is converted at the exchange rate at collection time). Some values are WFP "aggregate" figures. Unofficial/parallel-market exchange rates are not included.
