Notes

The geo_id variable serves as a unique identifier for each market location in the RTP datasets, derived from geographic coordinates. This identifier is essential for accurately linking market price data to specific geographical locations. It ensures precise tracking and comparison of prices across different areas and is particularly useful for spatial analysis and mapping trends geographically. The uniqueness of each geo_id aids in the clear distinction and aggregation of data by location, making it a key element in any geographical or location-based analysis of market prices. The geo_id is shared across Real Time Food Prices (RTFP), Real Time Energy Prices (RTEP) and Real Time Exchange Rates (RTFP) that share the same timestamp (RTP data are generated weekly, they share the same timestamp when they are in the same week). The geo_id may be used to link data sets from different time periods, but caution is recommended. Use also the mkt_name field and Longitude and Latitude to obtain a better understanding of the market location, while noting that market names may change over time, market names may be shared between multiple locations, or multiple markets may share similar coordinates.
