Description |
The food market surveys undertaken in rural areas of two districts of Malawi, Lilongwe District in Central Malawi and Phalombe District in Southern Malawi - specifically the food market surveys were conducted in two food markets commonly accessed by local people in a 'traditional authority' area in each of Lilongwe District and Phalombe District. These surveys were conducted at two time points - May 2017, representing a post-harvest season when maize prices are expected to be low, and February/March 2018 representing a lean season (usually October to March) with maize prices expected to be high. The survey collected the price of all food items reported to have been consumed by respondents in the household and individual surveys (refer to this file in the project Dataverse for more information), in the quantities in which people commonly purchase the particular food (kilograms, litres, ‘pieces’, and a standardized ‘small cup’ (600 mL) and ‘large cup’ (1500mL). |
