Where this comes from
- Source
- Food Prices for Nutrition 5.0: cost of a healthy diet (World Bank), published by World Bank, Development Data Group, with Tufts University (Food Prices for Nutrition project)
- Licence
- Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), per the World Bank Data Catalog record 0061222
- Attribution
- Source: World Bank, Food Prices for Nutrition (FPN 5.0), https://databank.worldbank.org/source/food-prices-for-nutrition, licensed CC BY 4.0. Figures are passed on as published; the change on the previous year is calculated by ProofPrice.
- How fresh the source is
- Roughly yearly: version 5.0 was last updated on 2026-07-21 and holds 2017 to 2025; every answer states its year
- Limits
- A modelled estimate of the least-cost healthy diet for the whole country, not a shop price, not a receipt and not what any household paid. There is no range and no count of prices behind a figure, and it uses 2021 food price survey data and PPP factors carried forward. Local-currency figures are in the country's own currency at the prices of that year. Food-group figures are blank for some countries and years.
- Rule
- A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
