Creating New Data Series¶

The HO M&T team must add new Data Series, such as Market Price Series or Price Index Series before FO can upload data into them.

Each Data Series requires a full set of metadata at the time it is added. If you have data that is not currently in the Data Warehouse that you want to add, you should contact HO M&T to discuss adding it.

For Market Price Series you will need the following metadata:

• Country

• Market Name

• Market Latitude and Longitude

• Whether market is rural or urban

• Product Name

• Unit of Measure

• Price Type (is the price retail or wholesale)

• Currency in which the price is measured

• Product Source (Local or Imported)

• Is the product a staple food or not?

• Data Source Organization

• Data Source Document
