"The construction of the main road linking Burco to Erigavo is almost complete. This has improved transport services due to reduced costs and lead-time of trucks. For instance, transport costs from Berbera to Erigavo reduced from $5.5 to $3.0 per 50KG bag."

If they’ve included Sanaag and Sool market figures in the North East or Puntland catchment figures doesn’t that skew things?
CPI for SL looks aight.
