In Embu Town, traders buy at KSh 60 and sell at KSh 100 — a markup of 66.7%.
A markup is not overcharging. The trader carries transport, spoilage and the risk of unsold stock. But knowing the wholesale price tells you how much room there is to negotiate, and whether one seller is far out of line with the market next door.

Prices are per kilogramme, collected by the Ministry of Agriculture from market returns. Coverage is currently 13 counties. Rows with implausible values — a wholesale price under KSh 1, or a markup above 200% — are excluded, since KAMIS contains occasional data-entry errors and publishing them would be worse than omitting them.
