It is designed to be a multi-year assessment. Using data collected in December 2022– April 2023, this brief describes which food items are available and their prices, characteristics of retail shops, markets, and customers, as well asmarketing and promotional activities. It is one of a set of briefs that, together, provide a holistic picture of the food system in the district.
