Read: The distribution makes regional dispersion visible instead of letting one national median imply a uniform market.
Regions and reporting-market counts are not population weights.
How did the latest reported regional maize medians vary across Tanzania?
Where maize was cheaper—and dearer
Region shade represents the median of supplied regional rows. It is not population-weighted; missing regions are not estimated.

The coverage
The national figure depends on which markets reported in each bulletin; the regional board carries that context.
The boundary
Wholesale prices sit upstream of retail prices. The series does not assert a fixed pass-through or timing.
The Brief
What this observation says—and what it does not
The latest national maize median can be read against its bulletin history without hiding the reporting-market basis.
Wholesale staples are useful public evidence about the food-cost pipeline, but they are not themselves the consumer-price index.
Watch reporting breadth, regional dispersion and whether the next bulletins confirm the direction.
