I need a clear, data-driven market research brief that explains the current mismatch Kenyans see between the price of dry maize and the much lower cost of having that same maize ground at a posho mill. Your focus is strictly on pricing trends, and within that, on the wholesale price of maize across the country. The study should track how wholesale prices have moved over the past three to five years in the main producing and trading hubs—Eldoret, Kitale, Nairobi, Mombasa, and any other market where reliable figures exist. Use publicly available datasets from KNBS, Ministry of Agriculture bulletins, FAO GIEWS, market-day price sheets, and reputable commodity exchanges. Where gaps appear, interview or phone-survey a small sample of brokers or large-scale traders and note the methodology clearly. I’m primarily interested in the following: • A clean spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) showing monthly or quarterly wholesale maize prices, source noted for each entry. • One or two charts that visualise the trend line and seasonal spikes. • A short narrative (1,000–1,500 words) that sets the numbers in context—harvest cycles, import volumes, fertiliser costs, transport bottlenecks, government interventions—all the usual suspects that push prices up. • A brief side note comparing the running cost structure of typical posho mills (electricity, labour, depreciation) so we can see why their service fee remains much lower than the grain itself. No policy recommendations are required; just the facts and a clear explanation. Accuracy and traceable sources are paramount. Please cite everything, keep formulas transparent, and label charts clearly so I can update them later if needed.

I understand you need a clear, data-driven explanation of the gap Kenyans see between wholesale maize prices and the much lower cost of posho milling, grounded strictly in verified pricing data. I will compile and clean 3–5 years of wholesale maize prices across key hubs (Eldoret, Kitale, Nairobi, Mombasa, and others where data exists) using KNBS, Ministry of Agriculture bulletins, FAO GIEWS, and market price sheets, with every figure fully traceable to its source. You will receive a structured Excel/Google Sheets file with monthly or quarterly prices, transparent formulas, and source links for auditability, plus 1–2 clearly labeled charts showing trends and seasonal spikes. I will then produce a concise 1,000–1,500 word narrative explaining the observed price movements in context—harvest cycles, imports, fertiliser costs, transport constraints, and government interventions—without policy opinions. A short factual side note will also outline typical posho mill cost structures (energy, labour, depreciation) to explain why milling fees remain low relative to grain prices.

Hello, I'm new to this platform but bring solid experience in data analysis and agricultural market research. I'm committed to delivering excellent work that you can rely on. For your Kenyan maize wholesale price analysis, here's what I'll do: - Pull monthly and quarterly wholesale maize prices from KNBS, FAO GIEWS, EAGC, Ministry of Agriculture bulletins, and RATIN for Eldoret, Kitale, Nairobi, Mombasa, and other relevant markets covering the past 3-5 years - Build a clean Excel/Google Sheets file with transparent formulas and source citations for every single data point - Create 1-2 clear trend charts showing price movements and seasonal spikes - Write a 1,000-1,500 word narrative explaining the drivers—harvest cycles, import volumes, fertilizer costs, transport bottlenecks, and government interventions - Include a side comparison of posho mill running costs (electricity, labor, depreciation) to explain why their service fee remains lower than grain prices I noticed you emphasized that accuracy and traceable sources are paramount, and that everything needs to be clearly labeled so you can update it later. I'll make sure every entry is sourced, every formula is visible, and all charts are fully labeled for easy future updates. One quick question: when you mention interviewing or surveying brokers where gaps appear, do you already have contacts I should reach out to, or would you like me to identify and approach a small sample independently? I can have this completed in 3-4 days with thorough research and proper documentation.
