Farmlink (farmlink.ng)

Farmlink (farmlink.ng) — Weekly Nigerian agricultural commodity price panel organised by VALUE CHAIN rather than by commodity list — visible chains include Cassava, Fishery and Poultry, with inputs priced alongside outputs (cassava stems and fresh tuber alongside garri; fish fingerlings alongside oven-dried catfish; day-old chicks alongside spent birds). Current snapshot covers 28 commodities across 12 named markets, each with highest, lowest, average and an explicit intra-market price range and difference. Units are preserved in local trading form (tonne, kg, bundle litre, number, 100kg bag)…

Farmlink (farmlink.ng) offers (Alternative, Price, Geospatial, Supply Chain) — Small and precisely stated for the current week: 28 commodities x 12 locations is at most 336 price points per week, and many commodities cover only 8 or fewer of the 12 locations, so realistic weekly volume is closer to 150-250 observations, or roughly 8,000-13,000 rows per year. If weekly snapshots have been retained since launch the archive would be in the low tens of thousands of rows..

Value-chain margin modelling — because inputs and outputs are priced in the same panel at the same timestamp, a buyer can compute processing margins directly (cassava tuber price against garri price gives a garri processing margin; fingerling and feed costs against table-size catfish give aquaculture economics; day-old chick against spent bird gives a poultry flock cycle), which no commodity-only feed supports; intra-market price dispersion and arbitrage screening from the published spreads; south-east Nigeria food-inflation nowcasting at local-government rather than state level; and aquaculture and poultry investment appraisal in a segment with almost no priced data.
