Note: 264 markets in each survey round. The calorie price ratio (CRP) is the ratio of the price per calorie of the item in the food group relative to the price per calorie of the cheapest cereals/roots/tubers in the same market. The reported means are conditional on food group being available in the market. The market (geometric) mean is based on imputed prices for the missing observations; see footnote 12.
