WFP Food Prices
Provides market-level commodity food prices and trends for various regions and markets, primarily in Ethiopia.
Create or update a recurring WFP/HAPI commodity food-prices connector (defaults to Ethiopia).
What you can ask Delphi
- “What was the average retail price of Teff in the Addis Ababa market over the last three months?”
- “How do current wholesale maize prices in Oromia compare to those in Amhara?”
- “List the most recent retail prices for wheat and sorghum in the Gambella market.”
- “Show me the trend of retail potato prices in the Tigray region for the past year.”

Create or update a recurring WFP/HAPI commodity food-prices connector (defaults to Ethiopia).
Fetch market-level commodity prices (WFP VAM / FAO GIEWS) for ETHIOPIA from the HDX bulk dataset. Returns per-market retail/wholesale rows (date, admin1/admin2, market, commodity, unit, currency, price, a pack-size-normalized price_per_kg, and usd_price) — the source feed for crop market-intelligence (current price, year-over-year, trend). Filters: commodity_name (substring, e.g. 'Maize', 'Teff', 'Wheat', 'Sorghum'), admin1_name (region), market_name, price_type ('Retail'/'Wholesale'), start_date/end_date (YYYY-MM-DD). Results are newest-first. Export crops like sesame are thin here — use World Bank Pink Sheet via dbnomics for those. (Sourced from the HDX bulk CSV, not the HAPI API, which blocks server fetches.)
