For sweetpotato, there is a look up file that helps to convert the unstandardized unit (different sizes of heap) in to standard units (kg or gm). In the look up file, there is also some data on the quantity and price of sweetpotato as assemblers, wholesalers and retailers levels thus enabling to estimate the marketing margins. The data could be used to examine the seasonal variability of sweetpotato and other food commodities in terms of quantity, origin and price.

The outcome of this study could help to better understand the implications of introduction and dissemination of biortified sweetpotato varieties that are rich in Vitamin in the market.
