Read: The distribution makes regional dispersion visible instead of letting one national median imply a uniform market.
Regions and reporting-market counts are not population weights.
How did the latest reported regional maize medians vary across Tanzania?
Where maize was cheaper; and dearer
Region shade represents the median of supplied regional rows. It is not population-weighted; missing regions are not estimated.

The coverage
The national figure depends on which markets reported in each bulletin; the regional board carries that context.
The boundary
Wholesale prices sit upstream of retail prices. The series does not assert a fixed pass-through or timing.
The Brief
What this observation says; and what it does not
The latest national maize median can be read against its bulletin history without hiding the reporting-market basis.
Wholesale staples are useful public evidence about the food-cost pipeline, but they are not themselves the consumer-price index.
Watch reporting breadth, regional dispersion and whether the next bulletins confirm the direction.
