Standard MPCA basket: Mattress ≈ 5–7 kg single foam (190×90 cm); Blanket ≈ 1.5–2 kg acrylic fleece (200×150 cm). Low-end prices (18–20 New SYP) are non-standard items not appropriate for basket calculation.

Alert Context & Recommendations
⚠ Eggs +17.9% — Highest Food Price Spike
Eggs recorded the largest month-on-month food price increase at +17.9%. With a small sample (N=2), this figure should be treated as indicative, but the direction is consistent with wider protein cost pressures in the region.
⚠ 62.5% Damaged Road Access
More than half the surveyed markets are accessed by damaged roads, creating persistent supply chain friction and elevated transport costs. This is a structural driver of price inflation across all categories.
✓ Supply Adequacy — Largely Adequate
87.5% of traders report adequate supply levels. The core challenge is affordability, not physical availability — strongly supporting cash-based MPCA response over in-kind distribution.
Commodities Flagged for Low Sample (N<3)
⚠ Prices are indicative only — interpret with caution
| Commodity | N (Traders) | Issue | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🥚 Eggs (per dozen) | N=2 | Very limited coverage — only 2 food traders | Add food traders in next survey round |
| 🍞 Bread (per pack) | N=2 | Low representation — single price point | Treat as indicative; expand sample |
| 🍗 Chicken (per kg) | N=1 | Single observation — not statistically representative | Do not use for household basket calculation |
