The historical and current estimates are based on price information gathered from the World Food Program (WFP), UN-Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), select National Statistical Offices, and are continually updated and revised as more price information becomes available. Real-time exchange rate data used in this process are from official and public sources.\n      \nRTP consists of three sub-series, Real Time Food Prices (RTFP) includes prices on a variety of food items that primarily include country-specific staple foods, Real Time Energy Prices (RTEP) includes fuel prices, and Real Time Exchange Rates (RTFX) and includes unofficial exchange rate estimates as well as possible other unofficial deflators.\n - RTFP: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/WLD_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - RTEP: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/WLD_2023_RTEP_v01_M \n - RTFX: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/WLD_2023_RTFX_v01_M \n \nTo produce smooth price series, outliers in the data are often adjusted using non-parametric density estimation and other techniques. Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity models are used to estimate intra-month price ranges. These models allow for excess kurtosis using a Generalized Error Distribution (GED). Open, High, Low, and Close price estimates are provided based on the modeled time-varying price distributions.\n      \nData are produced from 2007 to the present and estimates are given for individual commodity items at geo-referenced market locations. Predicted data for missing entries are based on exchange rates, and price data available either at other market locations or from related price items.\n      \nRTP estimates of historical and current prices may serve as proxies for sub-national price inflation series or substitute national-level Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) indicators when complete information is unavailable. Therefore, RTP data may differ from other sources with official data, including the World Bank\u2019s International Comparison Program (ICP) or inflation series reported in the World Development Indicators.\n      \nThe following datasets are part of this sub-series: \n\n Country-level inflation: \n - All countries: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/WLD_2021_RTFP-CTRY_v02_M \n\n Market-level estimates: \n - All countries: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/WLD_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Afghanistan: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/AFG_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Armenia: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/ARM_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Bangladesh: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/BGD_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Burkina Faso: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/BFA_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Burundi: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/BDI_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Cameroon: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/CMR_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Central African Republic: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/CAF_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Chad: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/study/TCD_2021_RTFP_v02_M \n - Congo, Dem.

The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.\n                    \n                    A dataset of monthly food price inflation estimates (aggregated for all food products available in the data) is also available for all countries covered by this modeling exercise.","time_periods":[{"start":"2007/01/01","end":"2026/10/01"}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2007/01/01","end":"2026/10/01"}],"nation":[{"name":"Gambia, The","abbreviation":"GMB"}],"geog_coverage_notes":"The data cover the following sub-national areas: Kanifing Municipal Council, Central River, Upper River, West Coast, North Bank, Lower River, Market Average","geog_unit":"Sub-national level, Admin 2 (selected)","notes":"List of food products included in estimates (not all products are included in country-level estimates): apples, bananas, beans, bread, butter, cabbage, carrots, cassava, cassava leaves, cassava meal, cocoa, coffee instant, cucumbers, dates, eggplants, eggs, fish, fish catfish, fish sardine canned, fish smoked, fish tilapia, garlic, groundnuts, groundnuts paste, honey, lemons, lettuce, maize, mangoes, meat beef, meat beef canned, meat chicken, meat goat, meat pork, meat sheep, milk, millet, oil, okra, onions, oranges, pasta, peppers, potatoes, pumpkin, rice, salt, shrimps, sugar, tea, tomatoes, tomatoes paste, watermelons, yogurt"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sources":[{"name":"World Food Programme (WFP)","origin":"https://data.humdata.org/organization/wfp?vocab_Topics=prices","characteristics":"World Food Programme (WFP); data published in the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) data catalog at https://data.humdata.org/"},{"name":"Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)","origin":"https://fpma.fao.org/giews/fpmat4/#/dashboard/tool/domestic","characteristics":"Local exchange rates and implied exchange rates data derived from commodity pairs published by FAO through the Food Price Monitoring and Analysis (FMPA) Tool"}]}},"data_access":{"dataset_availability":{"access_place":"World Bank Microdata Library, FCV Collection","access_place_url":"https://microdata.worldbank.org"},"dataset_use":{"restrictions":"The estimates presented in this dataset are all based on publicly-available data.\n          The dataset of price estimates is published as open data.","disclaimer":"The RTFP data and metadata provided are \"as is\" and \"as available,\" and every effort is made to ensure their timeliness, accuracy, and completeness.
