cropagora for organisations
If your work depends on knowing what crops actually sell for at Zambian markets, we collect that number every day, from named reporters standing at the markets. Here is what we can do for an organisation.
The data
Daily readings of low, typical, and high prices per commodity, market, and unit, each one attributed to a reporter and tagged as observed at the stand or relayed by a market contact. Coverage today spans the major Lusaka markets, including daily reporting from Soweto Market, and six further towns through a partner network. How every number is gathered is public: see how we collect prices.
What we offer
A weekly price report
Per-market medians, week-on-week movement, and notable changes, delivered by email as a PDF you can circulate internally or attach to programme reporting.
Data exports
The underlying readings as CSV, on a schedule or as a one-off historical pull, for your own analysis, dashboards, or monitoring and evaluation work.
Custom market coverage
If you need prices from a market or district we do not cover yet, we can stand up reporting there. Tell us the markets and commodities that matter to your programme.
Who this is for
NGOs and development programmes tracking market access or food prices, agribusinesses and traders planning procurement, lenders and insurers pricing agricultural risk, and researchers who need ground-truth price series rather than estimates.
