What do the official wholesale fresh food prices say for squid, retail in Malaysia?

Wholesale fresh food prices in Malaysia, from Department of Statistics Malaysia. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

An official average or median published by a statistics office or regulator, not individual sales.

ProofPrice reads Department of Statistics Malaysia when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

How fresh the source is
Monthly, not live: the catalogue is refreshed after each month closes (catalogue last updated 10 October 2026 when checked); our copy is refreshed daily and every answer names its month
Limits
A monthly average price per kilogram for one species and one level, as published: no range and no count of sales. Species are named in Malay as in the file (a few English names are matched for convenience). Ex-vessel is the price at first sale at landing, wholesale the price between traders, retail the price in shops and markets: only ex-vessel is what fishers receive. Not every species is published every month; a species with no figure in the newest month is left out. Figures can be revised.
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.
