This dataset contains Food Prices data for Turkey. Food prices data comes from the World Food Programme (WFP) and covers 52 different kinds of foods within 8 main categories such as cereals and tubers, milk and dairy, oil and fats and vegetables and fruits for Turkey grouped as national average, Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir. It is updated weekly but contains to a large extent monthly data. The data goes back to May 15, 2013 and includes 4,718 rows and 15 columns. The main numerical information in dataset is the food price. The data is basically categorized into food category, market, months and units.
WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. Each year, WFP assists some 80 million people in around 75 countries.

Additionally, we would like to compare our findings for Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir with national average. Finally, we also would like to determine the categories with the most and the least price changes within different periods, as well as the periods which are more likely to have certain price changes.
In our project we would like to:
