Notice:
As part of the development process in compiling the Producer Price Index PPI, updates were done on the data collection method for agricultural goods to be from the farm's door instead of the main agricultural markets in order to obtain more accurate data and meet the needs of the partners and data users. Accordingly, the PPI for 12/2019 was recalculated in order to link between time series and to apply the international recommendations in this regard.
