• There was an increase in most of the agriculture inputs’ prices in October 2020 across the 35 monitored sites. 
• The only average price drop is for Nitrate and Phosphate fertilizers, which declined in most local markets by at least 2 percent and 17 percent respectively. 
• As noted in September 2020, the major reason for the continued upward pressure on the cost of barley seed in the local market is attributed to the increased seasonal demand due to the onset of the winter cropping season and local traders’ opportunistic approach
•  The price of sheep and cow milk increased by 25.71 percent and 23.70 percent respectively, this will definitely affect the prices of dairy products.
