How to read this table
Row differences allow for assessing which products are more expensive or more affordable over time. Comparing the costs of beef, pork, and poultry reveals changes in the price hierarchy of meat products. As the data is provided at year-end, it captures price levels before the start of a new reporting period, helping to distinguish seasonal fluctuations from general food price trends in Russia
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Butter (862.9), Hard, semi-hard and soft cheeses (780.1), Semi-smoked and cooked-smoked sausage (642.6), Beef (excluding boneless meat) (519.8), Cooked sausage (513.8). Gap between highest and lowest — by 25.1 times. The top five account for 51.4% of the total across all items — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 7 periods. Of 175 possible values, 175 are filled (100%) — missing values are virtually absent
