GRAPHS
Mis9221.htm THROUGH MIS9226.htm INCLUSIVEThese graphs compare the average price per edible kg for the 3 major markets, but subselected according to high and low quality animals. These graphs show the following:
- that the average price per edible kg for Dar is very much independent of the animal quality band examined
- that the average price per edible kg for Arusha and Moshi is much higher for better animal qualities. This is the B factor being higher than 1.0, i.e. a non-linear relationship between price and edible weight, which encourages producers to supply higher quality animals to market.
The following table summarises the current (1994) values from these graphs:
