The daily food price monitoring tool checks whether the growth rate in any of the main food items exceeds some given threshold is created on statistical grounds, and provides alerts in abnormal cases. The nowcasting model for food price inflation estimates the indices up to the current month by using averages of daily food prices and other types of frequently updated variables.
