Which unit is Sweet Potato sold in?
Markets report Sweet Potato in painter, 25kg bag. We never average across units — a price per painter and a price per 25kg bag are different figures, and treating them as one number produces something meaningless. Compare like with like, and check the unit before assuming one market is cheaper than another.
