Why one page: Borno State is monitored market by market by the humanitarian price monitors behind the World Bank Real-Time Food Prices feed, so we track 28 markets here — far denser than anywhere else in Nigeria. Their prices move together, so they are compared here on one page rather than spread across 28 near-identical ones. Every market in this table sits in a conflict-affected area: access risk is flagged, not priced. How our numbers are made.
