## Methodology

Price = reported trade value in USD / reported quantity in metric tons. The median is calculated across reported market unit values for the same product and year. Price spread = (highest market price - lowest market price) / median market price x 100. Vs median = (market unit value - market median) / market median x 100. Price position is not a profitability claim.

Coverage: 2017-2023; 67 importer markets; 188 reported market-year observations.

## FAQ

### What does Zambia price positioning show for HS 240120?

It compares Zambia's reported unit values across markets with each market's median for the same product and year.

### What does above or below median mean?

Above median means the observed unit value is higher than the market median; below median means it is lower. It does not by itself indicate profit or quality.

### How is the export price calculated?

The reported unit value is trade value divided by reported quantity, expressed per metric ton when quantity is available.

### Can I compare this with the wider Tobacco: partly or wholly stemmed or stripped market?

Yes. Use the product overview and methodology links to compare price positioning with market size, exporter reach, and reported trade history.
