Lokoja Intelligence — Kenya

Kenya's food markets, quantified.

Observed staple prices across 86 Kenyan markets — maize, beans, rice, maize flour and more, in Kenyan shillings, from WFP market monitoring. Each price is dated to its observation month, because honest data says when it was collected.

2countries in the data layer

One data layer. Now two countries.

Lokoja started at the confluence of Nigeria's markets: current prices across 67 markets, corridor economics, and a free WhatsApp assistant traders use in five languages. Kenya is the first step beyond — the same open data layer, built on the WFP monitoring Kenya's food-security community already trusts.

Kenya today is deliberately data-only. Our corridor haulage model is field-calibrated for Nigeria, and the WhatsApp assistant answers from Nigerian markets — so here we publish exactly what we can stand behind: observed prices, honestly dated. The rest arrives when it can be done properly.

What we publish

Every price, dated to its observation.

Kenyan markets report on rotating cadences — many quarterly. Instead of pretending to a single-month snapshot, every price on every page carries the month it was observed. That is the difference between a number and a fact.
