About the Data

This preview uses a fixed demonstration dataset dated 16 September 2026. It does not contain reported transactions or live quotes from either market.

Prices: South African rand per kilogram. All Markets is an equal-weight average of the two market prices, not a volume-weighted national price.
Movement: Percentage change against the same commodity and market seven calendar days earlier. Missing comparisons display “Not available”.
Activity: Illustrative daily volumes and turnover for the six tracked commodities. Average price is turnover divided by volume.
History: Synthetic calendar-day observations for demonstration, including weekends. Price grades, varieties, packaging and fees are not differentiated.
Market information: Names and addresses are linked to official market or municipal sources. The hero is an AI-generated illustration.

Before live publication, the dataset needs authorised source access, grade and unit mapping, validation and clear reporting timestamps.
